Victims Family were a California hardcore band that sounded like classical music made of sped-up explosions (like the Rhythm Pigs and Nomeansno). There was one song on White Bread Blues that I always thought was one of the best things ever made. Aidan Girt once told me it made him cry in the bathtub. The album is a cunt to find but I just got it off Amazon for $40 and it is every bit as amazing as I remember it to be. The song is called “D.O.G.” and here it is for you to enjoy, for free.

good thing you built your own empire without any delusions of it being important

There you go a wee bit of heart. I remember our old editor would cry when he heard bad music, it was a weird thing he had for being embarrased for the artist and tears would stream down his face when the music sucked. We always thought it was the funniest insult in the world.
Your music sucks so bad it made our editor cry.

Victim’s Family fucking RIPS IT!
Larry Boothroyd is a freak on bass.
Totally under-appreciated.
And for some reason Whitebread blues is mega bucks now.

Reminds me too much of my brother, I was forced to listen to this shit at 8 years old.
12.14.09 at 1:35 pm

BTW Gavin, Apocalicious is solid.

larry’s new(er) band triclops is pretty sweet. I recommend listening to “march of the half babies” off the album Out Of Africa.

Hooray for Santa Rosa.

I saw them in 87 but was a hardcore kid and couldn’t make heads or tails of it. this is good. tragic mulatto’s “Hot many pussy” has some cool stuff
12.14.09 at 3:32 pm
I could give a fuck less about this shit but I just got the Gavin McInness is a Fucking Asshole DVD and it is fucking hilarious. $10 well spent. Although WTF? they edited the Right in the Queens Onions video? I like the original ending! eventhough the new ending is funny too. fuck I’m drunk as fuck.

To clarify Gavin’s comment, the song gets pretty shitty about a minute in
They sound like a fucking jam band in that breakdown
12.14.09 at 4:43 pm
It’s sad to think how fifteen years from now my freinds will still be reminiscing about Leftover Crack or some other shitty band.

12.14.09 at 6:41 pm
pretty awesome that you know the dude from godspeed you! black emperor. the overall perception seems to be that montreal is a pretty cutured and amazing city, but i only went once when i was like 14 and all i cared about were the boobs that seemed to be in all of the local magazines. can we get some sort of article about it please? i wanna take my sweetheart for a romantic getaway there, but don’t know where to begin
12.14.09 at 7:40 pm
damn gavin, you must be big ballin. i refuse to pay more than 15 for a record…20 for something that i really want. i know that feeling though, when you see something that you just gotta have.
12.15.09 at 12:07 am
