FRIDAY CHEESECAKE: RETURN OF THE BUNDA
We’ve deviated from what made Friday Cheesecake great: bunda. You like the bunda, we like the bunda…the whole world loves the bunda.
We return in force with a fresh crop this week, especially necessary for Stranko since he did attend a Morissey concert last night, and likely needs a dose of raw heterosexuality to counterbalance the bi/curious vibe from the show.
First, Ms. Reef, whoever that is:

And second, bunda that’s work-safe, but likely not work advisable after the jump.

Bunda, and…

More bunda.

Band Battles Dept:
#47, S.P.: Being a USC fan, I would nominate the following bands from Los Angeles to represent the Pac 10:
1) Van Halen (I prefer David Lee Roth as lead singer, though Sammy Hagar is pretty good too.)
2) Metallica (Lead singer is from LA area.)
3) The Eagles (A bit long of tooth, but who cares)
4) Cypress Hill (Insane in the Brain!)

dude, my SoCal band short list will destroy that lame ass lineup you offered – Black Flag, X, Bad Religion, the Minutemen, Fear, the Blasters, Jane’s Addiction and the Dickies.
dammit, i’m gonna have to go put on my Repo Man soundrack to get the idea of the vomitus those limp-wristed bands you mentioned call “rock” out of my head. it’s times like this i fear that darby crash diedfor nothing.

Dude: you are lucky I kept out the Bangles (the SF Valley), Gwen Stefanni (The OC) and David Hassellhoff (Parts Unknown) – Now that would be a real murderers row of LA music types.

kleph, you’re right about that spot in Peru. I checked out some photos online of Cabo Blanco and that place goes off. Perfect peeling lefts that are money for a goofy foot like myself. Wow, I’ll have to add that to my list of surf destinations I have to visit someday.

if you come, you gotta get to pacasmayo and chicama, two of the longest left-handed breaks in the world.

Kleph @ 53, New York’s all right if you like saxophones, and it also has buildings tall enough to be worth throwing myself off if I ever again hear the soul-destroying gurgling wails of geriatric “punk” Exene Cervenka.
Do. Not. Want.
I saw a documentary on the Minutemen a few weeks ago and my first reaction was “who the hell is the skinny old guy driving the van around?” Turns out that Mike Watt’s lost a few pounds since I saw firehose in the early 90s.
What about Suicidal Tendencies for the list? Their first album, anyway.

perhaps. but i still say that x’s “los angeles” has more authenticity and flat-out power than anything ever puked up by the van halen brothers.

I’ve actually heard of Chicama(supposed to be the longest left in the world). No doubt that Peru has some sick breaks. Maybe I can talk my buddy into heading down that way when we make it out west to surf Abreojos(Mexico) hopefully in the somewhat near future.

Los Angeles: “x’ vs. Van Halen Dept:
x is a little niche band, who quietly went into oblivion and right now could not sell out the Roxy,
while,
Van Halen is in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
It is like comparing USC’s football team to Caltech.

Kleph, we can’t believe we’re siding with SKLM here, but: we adore Van Halen (Diamond Dave iteration only,) while X occupies but a small corner of our heart for the song “White Girl.”

being in the rock and roll hall of fame is like winning the best picture oscar. gonna tell me with straight face that ‘rocky’ was better than ‘taxi driver’ or that ‘dances with wolves’ is superior to ‘goodfellas’?
van halen is watered down frat-boy rock. nothing more, nothing less. you’re much better off throwing away everything you own by them and buying a greatest hits album of the who – which is where they stole it all from in the first place.
x, on the other hand, is admittedly a niche or cult band but have the benifit of being incredibly creative and dramatically influential to boot. rock and roll hall of commercialy successful so we feel obligated to kiss your rapidly-aging and wrinkly ass one more time in order to cash in on what vestiges of your fame still remains.
bottom line, i’ll take the straight forward rock-and-roll of ‘johnny hit and run pauline’ to any of the faux posturings of david lee roth during his look-at-that-i-once-had-hair phase.

Whoa, wait. We’ll take the Who over almost anyone here. Especially in this clip:

Rock on Dude,
Kleph Repsonse Dept:
The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is like the polls in College Football. We all find all sorts of faults with it, but what else is there to assess excellence in music and football? The Grannies, I mean Grammys? gimme a break.
Sure, I’d rank the Who ahead of Van Halen, and a bunch of other bands too. But, we are talking about a battle of LA bands.
Van Halen, frat boy band? Gimme a break, part 2. Eddie is a legit world class guitar player and David “Have you seen junior’s grades” Roth can rock like a @#!@, even half bald and fired and fried numerous times.
“x” is ok, not comparable to Taxi Driver, if VH were Rocky. “x’ would most likely be “Welcome to the Doll House” to VH’s Rocky, a movie of critical acclaim, but really liked by just a limited number of people.
Whereas, VH is critically acclaimed and sold so many records, Eddie’s ex-wife tried to eat the profits.
