more mid 90's HC nostaglia: THREADBARE edition

So we just moved and I started the task of unpacking some of my old cd's that I haven't looked at in years. One of those was Threadbare's Feeling Older Faster CDEP  (Doghouse Records) which I picked up when new in '94 or '95. I'm too lazy to check facts. Tons of 90's hardcore doesn't hold up for shit. Either the songs are shitty high school kid emo poetry with awesome, scoopy, Crate tone or its a huge string of BROOTAL mosh riffs. Threadbare did something original. They were heavy as fuck and you can tell they were for real and playing with emotion. Well if they weren't they made it sound genuine. To me, at least, it still holds up. No one I know really ever talks about them, so I am guessing they are underrated by many. So POTAH is here to spread the word. The band was from Minneapolis (one of the lesser 'apolises of our great nation, well at least to 'napolis). I don't know what members went on to do or really care. Just listen to this shit and feel it.
get you some

slow bloggiddybloggering

for the few of you that do read/look at POTAH, i have been slacking lately.... mostly because we have been  moving from the westside compound to new digs in Fountain Square. here we have way more room to mess with our bikes and listen to METAL! i hope to post about such things soon. in the meantime, go listen to "Don't Break the Oath."

fifth third bank can suck it.

that is all.

Mercyful Fate !!!!!!!!!

Cool ass live version of a great song. I love MF so much... i love how King says "coven".

beer

Last night we got to be among the first to taste a couple of the beers from the Fountain Square Brewing Company. Its not fully operational yet, but they were kind enough to invite us over to sample some of their test batches. First of all the people running the show are great and need our support. I guess the Salvation Army across the street isn't too happy with the idea of a brewery opening up. There is a public hearing in May on this. it would be nice to get a crowd over there to show support for the brewery. Its not like there aren't a ton of bars and restaurants serving booze in the neighborhood? As we discussed with one partner last night, the Salvation Army must just think that a brewery is going to attract a bunch of hobos who need their fix of a $5 pint. Anyway, it's silly. A brewery here will be wonderful for the neighborhood just like Sun King and Flat 12 are great for their areas and the city in general.They had their pale ale and porter ready to sample last night. They advised the porter needed a bit of work still, but I found it to be delicious. Being a fan of pale ales and IPAs in general, I was excited to try their pale ale. It was pretty much perfect. Hoppy but not overly so. Strong and bold enough to make things interesting, but not overpowering. I'm looking forward to filling up a growler and chillin' and sippin' on the porch on a warm summer night. We also got to see the plans for the building which is just an old auto shop that's been cleared out. It should turn out to be a cool place with a tasting room and an outside patio type area.

Also tried the Glazed Ham Porter over at Flat 12. Interesting. Tasted like i was drinking Ham beer!
