Welcome to the first installment of Thanks for Sharing, a gossip column that’s filled with information you really don’t need to know--the kind of busybody hearsay that you will only care about if you're a nosey, unemployed bottom-feeder…
That scary guy with the face tattoos who plays the homemade rune gong in Cult of Youth side project Skin Drink (they keep saying that’s not the permanent name, but apparently and unfortunately that seems to not be the case) stormed out of practice recently, never to return. He has a personal connection with that Crowley 101 concept of “Abraxas” and someone in the band described it too simply, not doing full justice to the Gnostic god of the temporal realm. "You don't know shit about Abraxas!" he shouted, and quit the band in such a huff he accidentally left his flute behind. Now he wants back in but the rest of the band says no. Mike from Drunkdriver has since joined….
In other band news, Cerebral Ballzy got beat up by a bouncer on Thursday at that shitty Crash Mansion place…. And over the weekend the guy who sculpted that uncannily lifelike head of Vice publisher (and birthday boy today) Erik Lavoie (see above) had his van broken into and ended up in a knife fight with a gigantic crackhead. His friend, a 90-pound sugar monster here who shall remain unnamed, was not much help. K byeeee!
Here is the tips jar.
I went to Crash Mansion in October because some friends were playing there for CMJ. Fuck that place. That is all.

I never would have noticed the face ink. I thought it was sweaty curls. Why get your face tattooed if you are never going to be the scariest man with one? I know two off the top of my head that are scarier. Mike Tyson and Brent Hinds.

knife fights with crack heads, sounds like a good night on the tiles. all the guy should have done is reach round his back and say always like a junkie to bring a knife to a gun fight and see what the crackhead does.

Vice publisher who owns van, fighting large-size crackheads who have knives is a "Don't". Happy Bday, you fucking Gemini.
