00:01:29.000He's a guy, his name's Trevor, he managed Andrew WK for a while, he's, uh, he managed the hardcore band Sick of It All, um, you know, had the exact same background as me, punk rock, history, we were actually in the same maximum rock and roll.
00:01:47.000Maximum Rock and Roll is a fanzine that reports on punk throughout the world.
00:01:53.000And they have these things called scene reports.
00:01:55.000And I was in the Ottawa scene report that talked about local bands.
00:01:59.000There was Grave Concern, The Trapped, and my band, Anal Chinook.
00:02:04.000Chinook being an Inuit word for warm wind.
00:02:07.000And his band was in the Florida scene report.
00:02:11.000And I'm pretty sure it was the same issue.
00:03:32.000Yeah, Trevor was a guy, and we got along great because we had the same genetic makeup.
00:03:38.000He was half, his mother was Glaswegian, and I was Glaswegian, and I am convinced that Scottish people have more testosterone than other people.
00:03:49.000We're all alphas, because the betas were killed by the English.
00:05:53.000And I said, I could knock you out, old man.
00:05:56.000I would punch you so fucking hard, you would go flying off that chair, and you'd be knocked unconscious.
00:06:02.000And he does that, like Scottish people, when they're drunk, their legs are crossed in a gay way, and then their arms are folded on their lap, and then their heads are hunched over.
00:08:17.000So they had their $3 beers, and they had their thing, and they went to their club, and they did their BJs, and then the straights start showing up and getting DJ gigs, because the owner likes it, because the place is packed.
00:08:28.000And we took over this gay bar called The Hole.
00:09:14.000So he's there at the hole and it was just a great night.
00:09:18.000If you want to know the quintessential person who sums up that vibe, go look up Judy Rosen and her clothing brand, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
00:09:29.000And just hot chicks dressed great with stilettos on and fucking kooky hair and sort of like the Accelerator Girls in the old ZZ Top videos, you know, like fingerless fishnet gloves and mini skirts and short shorts and Garfield t-shirts, just fucking fun.
00:11:51.000He goes Michael what's his name was there and I so I thought oh, I'm not doing that now It's gonna end up right in the gossip pages So that's even worse now than suggesting such a queer thing is that he chickened out so I want my five bucks back And I got my five bucks back
00:12:08.000Anyway, that was a tangent to talk about a night we were there.
00:12:12.000We go outside and so now we're near Mars Bar.
00:13:47.000And all the guy's buddies come out with him and don't beat up Trace.
00:13:51.000They just stand in a semicircle around the strangling.
00:13:54.000And he said, I wasn't there for this, but he said the only thing any of them did was one of them in the crowd goes, who calls anyone child?
00:18:05.000And that's around then I realized I'm in over my head.
00:18:08.000Because as I pulled out his Speedo, the heat from his balls was like that Van Halen song where David Lee Ross says, I can barely see the road with the heat coming off.
00:18:20.000Like, there was hot vapors coming from his genitalia.
00:18:25.000And when I put the $5 in there, it was like putting $5 in an oven.
00:19:06.000He keeps staring at me the entire dance and Razzo brother goes, let's get out of here, and I'm thinking yeah, let's get out of here I don't I'd rather pee my pants.
00:19:15.000I'm fine with the bathroom Let's not wait in line here, and this guy's still staring me, and then one of the weirdest things I've ever seen happened
00:19:24.000He dances over to where the linebacker is and he starts moving his hips and then he pulls the back of his black Speedos off to the side.
00:19:35.000So now his buttocks are exposed and his anus is free to breathe.
00:19:41.000Uh, his anus, by the way, must look like a baby yawning because what he did next has to be seen to be believed.
00:19:50.000You're gonna think I'm lying and I'm fine with that.
00:19:54.000He starts moving his hips and slowly lowering his body.
00:19:59.000Uh, excuse me sir, there's a beer bottle right there.
00:22:42.000And, uh, I remember going, what the fuck's with your eyes?
00:22:45.000And he goes, yeah, when I was managing sick of it all, they used to call me asshole eyes.
00:22:50.000That's a funny thing, by the way, about New York hardcore.
00:22:54.000All these bands like Cro-Mags, and Agnostic Front, and Sheer Tear, and all those old guys who hang out at CBGBs in the 80s, and DMS, and they hang out at Handsome Dick Manitobas now.
00:24:30.000And we were at Mars Bar, we're at the Hole, he's probably having a cigarette, and I don't smoke, and this NYU kid goes, come here, come here!
00:24:39.000I can, you know, I have street smarts, so I can tell the guy is just a rich kid who's gone exploring, and he wants to show us something cool.
00:25:12.000One time, another tangent, he was like, I gotta go catch up with some work.
00:25:16.000I'm gonna rent a... He talks like a black guy, by the way, because in Florida they had this stupid busing thing.
00:25:23.000When they would take white kids and send them to black schools.
00:25:27.000So he's real sensitive about the n-word.
00:25:29.000And he says, yo, know what I'm saying?
00:25:30.000Yo, yo, with all due respect, not for nothing, you know, if you will, you know those black mannerisms where they take fancy white talk and stick it in a sentence?
00:25:42.000For all things considered, if you will, I basically want to conversate with you.
00:25:48.000I said, what did you learn going to those black schools, besides how to fight?
00:25:53.000And he goes, fighting is a very important skill, yo.
00:25:57.000Uh, he's very reluctant and we go into this abandoned building and we go, we start going up these creaky steps in total pitch blackness outside of this flashlight and it was right out of a movie, like it was such a set.
00:26:09.000We go up, up the stairs and then he shines a flashlight and we see a mattress on the floor and a little side table with a little candle that's been blown out and, you know, some bric-a-brac and a toothbrush and we realize, this is a bum's house!
00:28:29.000And then the guy goes, that's nothing, check this out.
00:28:34.000So my mind is now gone, dripped out of my ears, it's on the floor, I've seen a gay pick up his beer bottle with his anus, seen Jason Bateman, waste my time.
00:28:44.000Isn't it interesting that the celebrity in this story is the least interesting part of the entire story?
00:28:49.000There's a moral there for you, kiddies.
00:28:57.000So we head downstairs, and this is, I think this is the weirdest part, and it's not a very weird part, but as we started to go down these steps, again, blackness, the light, the flashlight's all you see.
00:29:07.000You know that chick who got killed by an Uber, a self-driving Uber car?
00:29:11.000You know how you just see her for a split second before the car hits her?
00:29:14.000That's the kind of light we were dealing with.
00:29:16.000So if the flashlight isn't on you, it's pitch black.
00:29:19.000Which is kind of a cool way to see things, because it keeps you focused.
00:29:23.000The myopic lens of this NYU kid's maglite.
00:29:27.000So, as we're walking down the stairs, someone comes up the stairs, and he's got a Ramones shirt on.
00:29:33.000It's a punk rocker, who's like, who looked like Joey Ramone, actually.
00:29:38.000It's an old punk rocker who just lives down these steps in this weird cavernous squat, these tombs, sort of like in Turkey.
00:29:47.000You know how they have those underground societies, where if people would come in through the front, they'd pour boiling oil on them, and they had, you know, tunnel after tunnel
00:29:57.000And that's what was going on in New York City!
00:30:10.000So this guy comes up the stairs and we keep going down and we're seeing like rooms upon rooms.
00:30:16.000So this was the basement of the school, I guess.
00:30:19.000And there was hundreds of people living there.
00:30:22.000It was like it was Wakanda for homeless people.
00:30:25.000So it was like Wakanda with beer and piss smell.
00:30:30.000Underground now we didn't get it to see a lot of people.
00:30:32.000This was probably only 11 p.m So I guess everyone was out forging for aluminum cans, so we only saw maybe like 10 people You know scooped by the flashlight briefly in the darkness.
00:33:29.000And then he says to the NYU kid, he goes, dude, you gotta get- And then he wants to ingratiate himself back with the guy he just scared, because that guy has the only key out of there.
00:33:37.000He knows the secret route, which, by the way, is just up the stairs.
00:34:25.000That there's two girls, up on 2nd and 2nd, by the Mars Bar, wearing Budweiser one-piece bathing suits, with feathered Farrah Fawcett hair, standing over a large cooler, an old-fashioned aluminum cooler, full of icy beers.
00:35:47.000And they'd wear, you know, suits and slick their hair back like Kraftwerk.
00:35:50.000And the girls looked awesome, you know, with their hair over to one side.
00:35:58.000And again with the Accelerators, Yeezy Top Girls, very 80s kind of a vibe, you know?
00:36:02.000Bolero ties and weird shit and there was this fashion label called As For that had these circular purses and everything was sort of futuristic.
00:36:11.000It was great and it was set to be that decade's thing.
00:36:15.000Like there was rap in the 80s, there was punk in the 70s.
00:36:19.000There's gonna be electroclash in the early aughts, but I think young people were so, uh... What's the word, uh... Oh my god, my mind just totally had a brain fart.
00:36:32.000Uh, scaffolded, brazen, uh, wizard, withened, uh, scolded, uh, what's that word when you've like, you're over it?
00:36:43.000What the hell's the matter with my brain?
00:36:47.000Yeah, after, you know, working on the repointing buildings and redoing brickwork, they became scaffolded after a while, and they no longer wanted to work on the exterior of your old building.
00:37:00.000They were jaded by the commodification of youth culture and they didn't like that electroclash was becoming a thing and there was sort of a backlash against electroclash.
00:37:08.000There was this guy Larry T who was obsessed with it and he copyrighted the name.
00:37:14.000That's a whole other podcast but there was this weird cult called Landmark that was big in the early aughts and it was mostly populated by gays for some reason.
00:37:24.000And these gays would go to these weird cult meetings where you were in a room with too much heat and barely any light for like 12 hours.
00:37:36.000And you would sit there and get these lectures.
00:37:39.000And this cult, they didn't want your money by the way.
00:37:42.000They wanted you to spend all your money on your dream.
00:37:46.000So say you want to open a pizza place, borrow all the money you can from your relatives and blow it all on this pizza place and work there 15 hours a day.
00:37:54.000I guess that's kind of cool as far as cults go.
00:37:57.000But his was electroclash, so he copyrighted the term, you know, and he spent... I remember Chicks on Speed were an electroclash band that he flew down from Europe.
00:38:13.000He had these Electroclash festivals, but ultimately, gays ruined it.
00:38:18.000There was a dude called the Gay Pimp, and his band obviously sucked, and it was just him lip-syncing, or no, singing over pre-recorded dance beats with a bunch of gays on stage, gyrating around in like Speedos.
00:41:08.000You know, the gangs, and CBGBs, and how dangerous New York was, and then the 80s, I remember the rap movement, and it was so cool, and the Bronx finally stopped killing each other and focused on hip-hop!
00:41:22.000But that was taken away from him, and this is me just projecting and assuming that this is why he's mad.
00:41:27.000I don't have no evidence, but I think he went, fuck, those fags took away my movement.
00:41:33.000So we get in the car, and there was a Jamaican dude, the cab driver, and he goes, where you headed?
00:41:40.000And I don't, just a stupid joke, I go, we wanna go to your nearest gay bar!
00:41:45.000I think I was just trying to make Trevor laugh, uh, cause he was pissed off, and I know as a fellow Scott, we get to this zone after a few makers where someone could just turn a switch and we're fucking mad as hell, like murder mad, for four hours.
00:42:02.000And you just, it's like a bad acid trip, like you wanna pull the guy off the ledge when he gets into that zone.
00:42:06.000So I was trying to make him laugh and I go, just take us to the nearest gay bar.
00:42:10.000And the Jamaican dude goes, um, I don't support that, you know.
00:42:16.000We're not, I got Babylon closing in on me, you know.
00:42:19.000We're not gonna have the blood clot, butty boys.
00:42:23.000And I go, I'm just kidding or whatever, I can't remember what I said, but Trevor got so fucking mad.
00:42:29.000And this is a guy who... I remember someone was picking a fight with him, some five foot tall dude.
00:42:35.000And he kept saying, I don't want to fight.
00:45:07.000But it was fun times, always fun times with T-Bone.
00:45:11.000But he got a job at Vice after I split there and we had a party and he said, I think it would be hypocritical, yo, if I was to come to your party, you know, and acted like things was chill and y'all dog.
