BSS Arrest!

I ain't no bigtime lover of BSS but it doesn't appear that you've actually heard them!

US drug entrapment laws suck.

Magik Markers Live Footage: Boston 2004

Bringing it to you straight from Manhattan Central Booking, Riff Raff's got some good news and bad news. The good news is that I got arrested last night, and the free wireless here at Central Booking is nothing short of fantastic. A lot of prisons I've been to I'll get like, 40 maybe 50K/sec, and even then I'll have to pay an hourly fee or buy a token cup of coffee in the jailhouse caf so they think I'm a real customer (bullshit). But Central Booking, I come in here, 500K/sec, this tech support guy's sitting literally right next to me (he was arrested last night for jacking a car), and everybody here's been really good about letting me finish my Bit Torrent download of the new Charlie Choco Factory flick. Rumor is, if you synch this film to R. Kelly's Chocolate Factory album, nothing happens.

The bad news is that what started as a harmless prank--me selling weed to two sweet dudes from Canadian indie rockers Broken Social Scene--turned into just a regular prank--all three of us getting arrested for being total retards. Apparently buying drugs in Washington Square Park--and now selling them?-- is a huge cliche. Come on, I haven't rollerbladed in weeks. Weeks! Days. Today.

So I have no idea what happened last night at the show. I imagine it was total mindblowing chaos just like every other indie rock concert, and as is par for the charliehorse here in NYC, everybody I mean everybody was dancing. I'm no slouch though. Before the big bust, I caught noise rockers Magik Markers play their set, seemingly mocking the Summerstage crowd, the Summerstage line-up, and their own incongruous appearance in the process. Multiple times, but always after banging her guitar on the stagefloor or putting the guitar cable bare into her mouth or performing some glorious combination of the two, the lead singer would swing herself off the lip, prompting a team of security officers to push her back and keep her from swinging equipment at photographers. This may have been the most live set I've ever seen. "This is a hardcore show!" she screamed; then someone said, "This is like the sound of J. Mascis taking a shit." Radio 4 were not available to comment.

Anyway they were decent but not great (Stars actually put on a better show when they came through a few weeks ago).

Hope Dave's okay.

i don't even know who "jon" is.

i don't hope dave's ok, i hope he got the beating he deserved for being stupid, his band sucks, and the NYC corporation counsel will defend this lawsuit to the best of their abilities. the cops will say he was resisting arrest.

Like them or not, knowing the beating he took, I find some of the posts on this thread completely tasteless. I think I might go back to ignoring ilm for a while.

xpost - cutty you are a gigantic piece of garbage. go buy some pot in a park.

Dave's the producer and not someone I can see causing much of a threat to police.

xpost

I DON'T SEE YOU GUYS CONCERNED ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF THE POOR, MENTALLY ILL OR MINORITIES. FUCKING YUPPIE WHITEBREAD CANADIAN VICTIM COMPLEX BS IF YOU ASK ME.

SINCERELY,

A PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT PEOPLE

i get my weed delivered to me in the comfort of my own home. also, when cops jump on me, i don't fight back.

this guy isn't dead or anything, what is he, a martyr now?

you are a gigantic piece of pussy.

Like others are saying, he was a dumbass for being in town to play at a rock festival, and somehow didn't think to ask any of the 483983 other bands at said festival if they could fix him up. Getting your face pounded in and your ribs cracked for trying to buy weed is excessive no matter how you look at it.

Pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.

When Wolf Eyes played here a couple of months ago, they talked about getting trying to go out for some food with Double Leopards and not getting seated because the Quebec pricks in Victoriaville didn't like the way they looked. They complained and said that all Quebecers were asshats. And you know what, they were probably right. The story is funny because it's so true.

Congratulations - do you want a cookie?
You get your weed delivered AND bash hipster indie bands - fuck I am in awe of your coolness. Can i hang out with you? Can I learn your ways? I need to study under the pot buying master of all that is cool - show me the way to get me some weed delivery no matter where I am in the world, oh wise one.

If not being awesome enough to buy weed easily in a foreign city is justification for getting 2 cracked ribs and your face reduced to hamburger meat - what punishment does being a complete douche on a message board deserve? And can I administer?

xpost - i give up

xpost, Thermo get 1 perspective.

Neither the suspect, Esteban Carpio, or his lawyer, objected to the step, prompted by Carpio’s recent reluctance to eat while being held at the state prison.

Esteban Carpio, the suspect in the murder of a Providence police detective, sits in a wheelchair for a videoconference appearance in Superior Court today.

The 26-year-old Carpio, who was sitting in a wheelchair during his videoconference court appearance, also entered not guilty pleas to the charges against him. He wore no facial covering, as he had in previous appearances, but did have a thick beard.

Patricia A. Coyne-Fague, chief legal counsel for the Department of Corrections, told Superior Court Judge Susan McGuirl that Carpio has been "very inconsistent" about eating for about the past month and as a result, "has suffered certain medical consequences." She did not elaborate.

Coyne-Fague said the department wanted permission to insert the feeding tube to ensure that Carpio doesn't starve himself to death.

McGuirl asked Carpio about the situation.

"I'm not doing too good when I eat the food," Carpio replied, in a slow and soft voice.

McGuirl ruled that any feeding tube would be inserted at an outside medical facility, as the department requested.

I'll work on the perspective thing right away - but I'm not the one getting on my high-horse about police brutality. I was taking issue with those posters who pilled into a thread about a mans misfortune to bash his inconsequential band.

xpost - i guess we're not done. fuck i remember that dude.

"And now the Broken Social Scene is suing the cops of New York City!"

Shut the fuck up, no one really cares.

I hope this happens daily.

if that makes me less sympathetic to the whole weed incident, whatever. ive pretty much chalked up that guys dick moves to his inability to admit he makes mistakes. he's more happy finding someone else to blame for whatever problems exist. bad sound? blame the club, ignore the fact that a 10+ person band failed to show up for soundcheck. busted for buying weed? not his fault as well. im sure the reason the band functions as a collective is because if he screws up, the accountability rests on the whole group, not just him. fuck people like this.

every canadian i know is more knowledgable about our culture than most americans. they're well aware of how strict our drug laws are and would know trolling for drugs in an open-air area is probably a very bad idea.

i do feel bad about the cops beating the bejesus out of him but you know, im not surprised. the NYPD is an organization that considers shoving a toilet plunger handle up someone's ass an interrogation technique.

This should be in Chicken Soup for the Indie Rocker. Maria is OTM all over the place here.

So for the record, their attitude about this was basically pretty shruggy: hahaha, we send him into New York with a friend we thought was responsible, and like idiots they go do this, but then look what happened. After the set, Newfeld himself seemed generally unbitter about the country, and had basically two rants to go on -- one pretty sensible one about US drug laws and jails that I imagine most everyone here would largely agree with, and one not-very-sensible one about 9/11 and the Nazi origins of the CIA that barely bears talking about. Both rants were couched in lots of apologies -- "you've got a great country and so many cool people here, but X and Y and Z are just ridiculous," etc.

couple years back in philly he went on this rant about how fucked up the iraq war was but then proceeded to tell the audience they were to blame for it. i mean, where the fuck does he get off? its like being invited to a party and then badmouthing the host.

...wait, that was for that thread about unfounded rumors...
