Via Revelation Records comes this priceless video of Porcell of Youth of Today/Shelter/Judge fame being called a psychotic by Pat Sajack back in ’89. In an old school sleeveless BOLD shirt and throttling the Youth Crew dude next to him, no less:
Who would’ve thought back then that Youth of Today would still be playing “The Flame Still Burns” in 2011?
And I will continue to sing this song…
Lord, Ray of Today wasn’t kidding!
On a semi-related note, not to pick on Anthrax’ second-most-recent-ex on the eve of the East Coast Big 4 show, but churning out posi-core fairly screams “aging gracefully” when compared to singing “Sweet Caroline” at the Doll Factory before a roller derby meet, no?:
I suppose the real question here might be: Is this guy fucking with Bush when he wraps up the interview by saying, “Find this guy. If anything, if you need somebody to do your national anthem at your junior high, give him a call”? That’s about the point where Bush could’ve made this video a whole lot more interesting by giving this guy a taste of the ‘ol Armored Saint… Also, note to my wife: For my birthday I want John Bush to sing a set of Neil Diamond covers in our living room. Please.

Mazzy the kitten as Britney Spears, complete with fake albino python.
The epic shit-show of the year happened last night. MTV is a pathetic punchline at this point in history, but there’s one thing the VMAs were good for: an animal reenactment photoshoot, starring Mazzy, Muncie, and Mona the kittens and Moxie and Sugar the puppies.
Mazzy as Britney Spears.
The famous lesbionic triple kiss from the 2003 VMAs.
Mona (not a virgin) poses as Madonna (also not a virgin) from the latter’s famous “Like A Virgin” performance.
Sugar as Cher.
Moxie models a replica of Lady Gaga’s meat hat.

We all have plenty of loud, noisy music to worship the goat with – never enough, in fact. But when it’s time to take it easy and still be evil, it’s not so easy, is it? Danzig has made acoustic evil in the past, Ulver did those strange soundtracks, and Burzum’s prison albums weren’t particularly rocking. Fuckin’ Wovenhand is good, but that guy loves god. Pfft.
A great way to tone things down without compromising your love for Satan is to put on some Ancient VVisdom. Hailing from Austin, previous members of Integrity and Iron Age have come together to bring us a new take on evil fucking music. If you’re not familiar with last year’s Inner Earth Inferno, then just know that it’s a split release AVV did with Charles Manson.
This year they released A Godlike Inferno, which is a unique occult experience from beginning to end. It is heavy as hell, it is definitely metal, and it is evil as fvck. But compared to what you’re used to, it’s a slow, soothing dip in an acid bath.
The thing you care about is that the Deciblog has five copies of A Godlike Inferno to give away. If you want one, simply send a brief account of any significant impact our Black Lord and Master, Satan, has had on your life. Maybe you’ve actually attended a Satanic ritual, maybe you remember the moment you turned away from god, maybe there was some blood in your stool and you think that’s evil. Tell us about it and win this killer fucking album. Send your emails to: ancientvvisdom@decibelmagazine.com

What Is Moira’s Lake? from Envinity on Vimeo.
“The Most Expensive Album You’ll Buy This Year”
That is the first thing you read on the promo page for Envinity’s Moira Lake. Here’s the second thing:
“Even Though It’s Brilliant, That Doesn’t Mean You’ll Like It.”
And so begins our quest throughout the worst, most self-important piece of shit art conceived this year.
How bad is it? Well, the album comes with a Gag Reel.
Actually, the gag reel is a shining moment compared to the short story, the 20-minute featurette, a lyric booklet… It keeps going with all the subtlety of an infomercial and all the artistry of a food dehydrator.
The “guided tours” of Moira’s Lake can’t be embedded, but trust me, they are worth it. You know when your friend wants you to hear his band and he never shuts the up so you actually hear more of his boorish commentary than the music? Well that friend is fucking Harpo Marx compared to Niko Van Steenhoven. Oh, did I mention that’s the band leader’s name? Are you surprised?
There are many parts of this that scream “satire,” but there is far too much involvement with this dump heap to be anything but a pompous douche spending all of his time dedicated to a meaningless project instead of being a normal human.
In one of the videos Van Steenhoven says, “If you don’t do something to piss people off, you didn’t do it right.” That is actually not true, but to someone this steeped in his own backwash and jism, he feels that everyone who doesn’t find it necessary to tongue his asshole for some ridiculous vanity project has been scorned by his home studio virtuosity. But who knows, maybe you’ll like it.
Oh, and by the way-you can get this thing for $ 27. That shit isn’t even very expensive.

Welcome to the armpit of America, better known as the Gathering of the Juggalos. Since 2000, it’s been a misogynist/homophobic paradise, a narcotics flea market, and a reason to live for the roughly 20,000 attendees and enthusiasts of Insane Clown Posse. Check out Emma Carmichael’s account of her experience as an undercover Juggalette at the Cave-In-Rock, Ill., shitshow on Deadspin. Aside from being really depressing, the read will make you want to shower. After the jump, some choice excerpts.
He has a can of beer in each hand, a cigarette on his lip, and some news: “We’ve got three Juggalettes giving free hand jobs in a tent up here!”
The first people we see are a couple of twenty-somethings sitting in front of their tent, watching the early-afternoon foot traffic pass by. The guy is holding a sign that says “$ 3.50 You Can Play with My DICK (NO HOMO),” and she is smoking a Marlboro.
I peek into the women’s showers and am warned by a volunteer with a container of Clorox to stay away from the stall at the trailer’s far left. “Someone decided to take a real big dump in there,” she explains.
ICP’s version of hip hop—politically anti-racist, but very white and non-urban—is the escape plan for the kids who don’t ever leave.
The Juggalos do not care if the boobs are lopsided or saggy or small or fake; they only care that they are there.
On one side, he offers “Got Neden?” stickers for sale; on the other, he’s written, “Its my birthday show me your tits.” In the corner, somebody has penned, “Baby mama Approved.”
If you believe what you hear on the Drug Bridge, then every product available is The Best Product In The Entire Damn Country And I Can Personally Vouch For That, Ninja.
For photos of the event that will make you feel better about yourself, check out Jim Kiernan’s Flickr set, featuring Charlie Sheen, a wasabi-snorting contest, lots of painted boobs, and a dude with 420 shaved into his back hair. Woop woop.
