What cards are on my desk?:
None. I like to keep a clean desk. Whats on my IPod?: I don't have one. I prefer channel surfing on my Sirius satellite radio. What am I reading?: Dave Ramsey's "The Total Money Makeover". Oddly there's nothing in there about budgeting for baseball cards. :confused: |
Cardtarget--I would recommend The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand over Atlas Shrugged--especially if you haven't read her before...just MHO.
On my desk I have a lot of 97 newly acquired T206's, a Clint Frank certified auto card, and large group of nonsport n and t cards.... I'm listening to classical music... I'm currently reading "Our Daily Meds". |

What cards are on my desk?:
-A mountain of 1911 Zeenuts, my Zeenut dupes I have been trying to move, and other odds n ends -also a big group of nonsports cards (N & T's) that I still am wading through, I gotta admit those actresses always make me think of Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls Whats on my IPod?: I don't have one. but I have recently been listening to Ozzy, Toadies, Pearl Jam, STP, Social D, GnR, and... Yo Gabba Gabba! (the last one wasn't my choice!) What am I reading?: Basically anything I can get my hands on that has nothing to do with Dentistry! |
Rhett, you paint a most unique image...
That of a Dentist, sitting at his desk in his scrubs and facemask, listening to alternating tracks of GnR and YoGabba Gabba, while thumbing through cards of Pinup girls while wearing light blue rubber gloves, and yelling to his patient in the other room, "Spit!"
disturbing...:D |
Jim- for me one of the first signs I knew I was getting older was when, a number of years ago, I was shopping and the clerk behind the counter said "what can I get for you, sir?" The word "sir" was the dividing line. That is when I realized to a kid in his twenties I looked like an old man. Now it's been so long I am used to it.
|
Toadies...good stuff
Rhett - Absolutely love the Toadies...their "Rubberneck" album is one of my all-time favs!!

I must admit to being slightly amused at how much metal is listened to by this board. I wonder how many of you guys I crossed paths with when I was touring with Slayer or Cannibal Corpse or DRI or Yngwie or ... ? Hahahaha.

What cards are on your desk :
Four raw VG T206 commons What's on your iPOD : The Breeders on heavy rotation, as well as Paramore's "Riot". Whatcha reading: "Paradise" by Donald Barthelme. I get on Barthelme kicks, as well as Raymond Carver. Props for someone listening to Howlin' Wolf and people reading some Rand. DanC |

I second Eric's comments. I saw Slayer with Pantera almost a decade ago at Nassau Coliseum in Long Island and they totally kicked ass. Nice to meet you...

Apologies for the slight hijack of this thread, but yep that's me. My first tour was in the lead singer's camaro. Not as comfortable as the charter jet I used with my current band on our last Australian tour, but it was still lots of fun.
For all the Deadheads who are sick of the metal posts, for me it's been a long strange trip... I suggest that anymore Doug / Slayer talk move to email doug.goodman@earthlink.net Back to baseball... |
I don't have a desk, don't have an ipod, just been reading different chapters of Huckleberry Finn to my kids at night to get them to sleep. However I have seen the Dead seven times.

iPod-Jacqui Naylor, Eric Whitcare, Aaron Copland, Morten Lauridsen.
Reading - Robert Parker - Spenser novels. On my desk - The Pach Bros. cabinet of Dudley Dean I won in the B&L auction. Dean was a pretty interesting guy. Harvard quarterback. One of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. A Lt. Colonel in the Air Force in WW II. A newspaper columnist. A career in mining and lumber. http://photos.imageevent.com/uffda51...tem_6460_1.jpg |
On my desk: 2 Reds W571-1's, haven't placed them in an album yet and a Vander Meer auto/photo
Ipod: Just got an Ipod at Christmas, so far I have Beatles, Clapton, CS&N, Eagles, EL&P etc.... for my listening enjoyment. Reading: Recently finished "World Without End" by Ken Follett RC |
Two of my all time favorite hard core punk bands were Discharge (British) and Black Flag (American). When a member of the British band was asked why they picked Discharge as band's name, he said "Because it was obnoxious" .... When the leader of Black Flag was asked why they picked that name, he said it was because of the simultaneous associations with anarchy and bug spray ... There's a bit of beauty in those answers.
Another great hardcore band was named Minor Threat, and that name was just being being playful. They'd play their supersonic explosions of sound with the implicit or explicit knowledge, "Don't be unduly scared of us. We're just a Minor Threat." In fact one of their songs was "We're just a Minor Threat." I'm sure the bands themselves see the ludicrousness and comedy in their names as well as anyone else. |
I was always partial to L.A. punk bands. X is by far my favorite. Black Flag, The Germs, Social Distortion, etc. were all good. A bit up the road, the Dead Kennedys did not suck.

-A mountain of 1911 Zeenuts... -QUOTE] Looking for Bernard and Fullerton. Are they in the stack? |
71 cards including over 40 E126s, Sport Kings, E121s and various hockey cards from the 1920s.
No iPod. Reading Net54 posts. I'm not much for reading despite previously being a teaching assistant for a year in the English Department at West Virginia University. |
Interestingly, the three geographical centers during the formative years of hardcore punk were California and England (neither surprising) and Washington D.C. (surprising).

I love books about those old punk bands-it was like they were living on the last frontier they way they had to gig and tour. I didn't get into punk until my metal phase passed and I missed the first wave or two. There's still a dozen or so bands I really like from the punk days, many of which are still around. |
1) Small group of pre-war cards I'm trying to decide whether to send to PSA or sell raw.
2) Kind of into the Beatles at the moment. 3) I usually read multiple books at once. Currently in the john - Legacy of Ashes, a History of the CIA by Tim Weiner; on the nightstand A History of God by Karen Armstrong; and in my backpack is Blink by Malcolm Gladwell. |
I agree. It's largely white suburban juvenile delinquent music. In fact, much of Black Flag's early music lyrics are about parties and going to the liquor store. A Black Flag lyric is "Does anyone have the key to the liquor cabinet?" .... Discharge is overtly political, with their songs being protest songs, but Black Flag is social and personal-- around your neighborhood type stuff.

Desk: About 35 non-Red Sox M116's that I need to sell one of these days and a Nice 38 Goudey Jimmy Foxx that I just purchased.
Ipod: Pre 1980 Speedwagon. This includes the double live "you get what you play for" album circa 1977. Got me through a 50 mile bike ride Sunday as I started my training for the RAGBRAI since the snow has lifted here in MN. Book: Just finished "Patriot Reign" by Michael Holley for the 2nd time. Up next: "Mint Condition" once it arrives. |
Most probably don't know (and many likely don't care) that one of Black Flag's founding members and original bassist is auctioning off his personal collection on eBay. Has included rare early un-issued test records, the original metal stamp used to make an BF album (like the printing press for cards) and more. He was also the co-owner of the indie label SST, so has scarce insider stuff from other bands like Husker Du, The Descendants and Sonic Youth ... The un-issued test-album for BF's 1978 second EP went for over $500, and the metal stamp I think was around $400 ... The interesting thing is as the former band member and label owner, he says how many of each item were made.

Hey! My first post on this great message board. I am so glad I found some folks like myself who go after those old pieces of cardboard. I have got along way to go with my collection, and am glad to have all of you to help guide my way.
No cards on my desk. Just an autograph pic of Don Larsen's perfect game. Listening to Buddy Holly, Lightnin Hopkins, and Townes Van Zandt today, with a twist of Ol Blue Eyes. Reading "The Road." |
