Episode 170 – Rock N Roll Vs The World

So I haven’t done an episode in ages and I did this one just after Soundwave and never uploaded it because I simply forgot. True story. Oh and I still have no new microphone so the microphone sounds like shit. Still, you get a ton of great songs on this episode that all rule heaps. There’s lots of gig talk, Soundwave talk, random rants and stuff. You’ll dig it. Sit back and delve into my life with another episode of the Long Gone Loser Rock Show. You wanna listen right now?

FACTOTUM BOOKS

Sometime in the mid to late 90′s, there was this awesome record store in Adelaide called Thrash Grind & Grunge. It was also home to Dominator Records; a label that was home to such bands as The Mark Of Cain, Bloodsucking Freaks, Grunter, and Truth Corroded, just to name a few. Each week I’d go there and snap up bargains and buy records and all that stuff. It was pretty awesome. You could easily unloads wads of cash at this place and walk out with some serious rarities at ridiculous prices. It was definitely my favourite record store at the time and I even did some part time work there. ANYWAY, one day, a Thrash Grind & Grunge regular named Kami decided to open a book store next door. He named the store Factotum Books and started selling alternative books, trash magazines, crime fiction and most famously, paintings, postcards and other such memorabilia from serial killers. It attracted a lot of attention and raised a few eyebrows. The fuzz took notice of this small shop’s infamous wares on sale and the journalistic heroism of the current affairs program Today Tonight decided to do a story on this new controversial store in the serial killer capital of the world, Adelaide. Here’s that story:

Sadly, Factotum Books no longer exists and either do half the serial killers whose paintings and memorabilia were being sold so if you were lucky enough to buy a crappy painting of clowns or birds, you are indeed the proud owner of some rare collectable art that is hopefully worth more than you paid for it.

Episode 110 – And This Is Our Music

This week I pay tribute to the passing of Derf Scratch, the original bass player with punk rock legends, FEAR. I also speak about one of Australia’s landmarks closing its doors as Brisbane’s Trash Video comes to an end. I also discuss my recent article for CNN on vinyl records and finding gems in second hand stores. There’s gossip on live albums and Jello Biafra in Australia. I play a brand new track by Luger Boa and power through tons of songs for your enjoyment. I’m also in a really damn good mood and talk the release of Machete Maidens Unleashed as I attended the premiere and think you should be subjected to my pathetic thoughts on the film… But wait, there’s tons more awesomeness and you can hear it right here.
