People Who Play Music Despite the Cold

For this semi-regular installment, I went hunting around the internets for bands from my fair city. There are the obvious like the Bodeans, who are like nails on a chalkboard. And the Femmes. Here are some others, perhaps more modern.

Emo, or hipster. Whatever you pick...


Good?


More Emo? Jesus, you'd think we were depressed...


The live ones all suck. But My buddy partied with them once in Madison. That was a long time ago.


They used to come to my college all the time. The one guy was cool...


As far as 90's pop goes, they were the best. the one CD I have from them is still good.


There are these too.

Videos

So I saw this guy's special on Friday last. Though I had seen him on the Internets prior, I did not realize that yes...he is actually funny. If you remember correctly, he was on that show "The League." If you're like me, and like low-brow bathroom humor, than this is the comedian for you. Yes, he is Canadian. But there are a few OK ones, like Rush or Bryan Adams...no not really. They all suck.



But he also plays music...you may have heard this one.



Here are some more.

Sunday Videos sounds a bit like Dan Potthast

The tune is good, but the intro had the idea.


Fucking Internets are slow.

A Collection of Tunes for VD

See that? I made a joke...Here are some songs from my favorite band that make you feel more alone than normal. Fear not. FWTI is below this one.

I hope I can read your obits tomorrow.



Who could forget this one?



Merry Christmas



And for the married ones...


FYI...That partical man song they are known for is useless.

This one does'nt fit the theme, but screw you anyway. "Everybody dies frustrated and sad."

Version

2 different versions of the same tune. Which is better?



or

before the guyliner...

I Can Play Center Field Coach...

Just testing the waters kids. Here are some videos to allow you to sleep on Sunday. There are some crazy things going on, and Daddy needs some release. Punk Rock and Hip Hop. That should do the trick. These things do not change. Lil Wayne is not good hip hop, just like some shit eating dirtbags are not good punk rock.

Recent conversation.


Posted previously by Chopper. He is some kind of expert.


Classic. Dont argue. I was at this show in WI. These assholes who dont like embedding are bitches.

All the time Tip.


You see, the thing is...

Long and Hard

Since the last one was so long and difficult to understand, here is what I meant. Look, during the week, it is tough to get past my news reading and hooker killing. Thats why I dont post. My brain is spent. It makes Sunday Ideal.

Here is something to once again fall asleep to.

Dire Straits but in a different generation, and for the people that dont know their best tune.


I dont like pussy-footing around the issue.


I agree with 1 of three


Dont forget that it will all be OK.


Good luck ladies, and may your week be bountiful. Every day is an adventure. (top 5 ever tune)

Sleep well, as knives dont sleep.

Baseball Related

I know that everyone knows this. ESPN needs to pay more attention to the rest of the league. And this is coming from a Yankees fan. While in the tavern last night, I remarked to Chopper that they have been playing the same shots of the Yankee v Red Sox game without spending time with their other big league brethren. That is fucking lame. I say again that is fucking lame. LA spends a lot of money and are good. But we are the four letter network. We only care about 2 teams. The game on Sunday night is cool as again I am a Yankee fan, but taking 2 hours of my time on the two teams before hand is once again fucking lame.

How about that rant for F-Bombs. Anger is good.

Enough. Lets look at the team that really matters... Your Milwaukee Brewers almost swept Houston for the first time today. Without Neddy Bear, there really isnt anything to bitch about...be honest. But here are some notes to think about.

Manny Parra is a headcase. Not along the same line as Milton Bradley, as Parra is not an asshole. He just tries to be too cute with his pitches. He could get through the opposing lineup twice with a fastball alone but tries to throw too many pitches on the corners. He needs to start to have confidence in his stuff. IE, become a pitcher and not a thrower.

Mike Cameron is having a decent season so far. And he his not striking out...as much. Off topic-the team is not striking out as much. Is this the result of the hitting coach? He was not a good major league hitter. Anyway...He is taking pitches, hitting dingers, and playing the center field that he is paid, albeit too much, for.

Jeff Suppan despite 2 decent starts is still a bum. Enough said.

Dave Bush seems to be benefiting from a beard. Though he most likely will taper off of his torrid pace as a stater, it is good to have him around. A dude I work with will give me shit about saying that tomorrow. Bush and Looper have become the de-facto aces of the staff, and as long as Yovani and these two keep it up, good things will happen.

I could go on, but this is all my hungover mind can do right now. Ryan Braun is starting to find it, and the offense knows it. They probably will not make the playoffs but they will give the Cubs and the Cardinals a run. The thing is, it is early. Ask me again at the end of May and I will probably tell you different.

Non Baseball.

T squared, for the first time, did not ass-fuck the team this year in the draft. Sure he gave up some picks, but when was the last time he traded up. Two words. Fucking Never. Moving to the 34 defense requires specific players. It is not difficult to play, in fact it may be easier that the 43, if you have the right players. Better to take 2 defensive players rather than 1 offensive one. Unofficial off the record guess...10-6 and a loss on the first round. But at least it is better than last season.

Since we are off the record, here is what Daddy is listening to, and who should be on MTV instead of some shitty fake crap.


For the record they, Green Day, are good, but in the last 10 years have been playing to a 2 faced audience. But whatever works I guess. The same as these guys. The sweet zombie jesus like good punk rock.

It Does Not Get Better

I dig Zepplin. Understand that. But sine they are long gone, at least when they were young. I give you this cover...In my opinion, the best tune by those guys.

The One that got Away

Since, at some point, the band that I went to see Saturday got sold out. Who knew that Milwaukee dug on 80's pop music. I ran into a couple at the tavern after being turned away from the show, they had tickets but were not there(suburban yuppies) and they said that the band defined their own genre. Thats a bit too deep for me, but they are bad ass nonetheless. The band, not the couple.

The fiddle player is from 'Tosa apparently.

Music

A nice lady I work with recently asked me if I knew who 311 was.

My response..."311's got the boom ya'll."

Bad audio, bad video, but I did yell in some 16 year old dudes ear because he was talking on the phone during the show. I blame my good buddy gin.

I Dont Want the World, Just Your Half

Some more tunes from a rock and roll combo that I still know all of the words to, over 13 years after.

Best tune by far. And still one of "my" best tunes ever.


Weak hearts are overrated, physically. Think about it, just stop having these attacks and all would be well.


1989 was a good year. The video for this one was awesome.

And this is just good. If you say no, I will in fact eat your ears.

Young and Stupid

Here is some shit I used to listen to before I was punk as fuck in my head, laugh it up but they are good. Perhaps better, at least the people who wrote the tunes anyway. May you have a non-confrontational week.

Crack-head or not, the dude is good.


Cliche?


Even Nazis bowl.


This is getting fucking depressing.


Hank Rollins pnce said that if you put on 3 wool sweaters, and jumped around for 3 hours, you still would not have worked harder than this dude.


Country? They do play the "King of the Hill" theme song.


One more, and Im done. Goodnight bitches.

Canadians are Bad

I dont like people who make it slow, but this...actually...is good.


The Punk Rockers are rather liberal, despite my leanings, they are still good people.

Non Political


The senior paper was based on this one.

Thats Andy Summers on the Guitar Ladies and Gentlemen.

I had forgotten the fusion of Reggae and the Punk Rock was so good.

One



Both



One


Then there this kid playing all of the music himself on Roxanne.

Because I Cant Think of Anything Better

Praying to the Punk Rock Gods for a W. Win that is, not the cowboy.




After Milo got back from college.

New and Improved

Hello ladies. Come on in and sit down. We here at Nice Weather in Milwaukee, have a new feature for you. Have a tasty glass of champagne and watch/listen and we will explain. Since the author seems to bust out large amounts of videos from time to time, we have decided that he should centralize the action. Since he generally tends to say that he "is going back to his roots," we thought that it would be better to restrict him, as he posts the same videos over and over again. So...hopefully he just does this on a weekly basis, with one or two videos, instead of a whole post dedicated to that dreadful punk rock, with the same videos over and over. If not, he will most for sure be sacked, and his 401K will not be valid.

(this is edgrimly talking) Fuck those producers and all of their ideas. Here is some of the best hippy band that nobody has ever heard of. And if you're lucky, some of that sweet down home punk rock you need.

I told you were lucky. I will lock myself in here if I have to. I dont have anything pressing to do anyway.
I dont like Boston, but I saw this dude onetime. He was riding the train.

I always wanted to be the Bosstone. Though I would get tired pretty quick.
And for those of you who remember when they were good.
