Hey Rock*Landers, in an effort to allow you some time to work on your back, delts and abs,
Rock*Land has gone to a bi-weekly schedule, starting this week (or maybe last week)
This is in accordance with an ancient Aztec Calendar Stone that Ricky & Shelby found on their recent trip to the Southwest.

Sooooo.....
No Rock*Land this week. (Sept. 15, 2005)
Instead there will be Miss Jilly serving drinks and her good buddy, Derrick playing music.

Just because we're not there doesn't mean you can get away with murder.
Wait until we come back next week, then you can get away with murder.

Time to sync up your Palm Pilots.

Very Truly Yours ,
Your Bi-weekly, Bi-curious, Bi-cycle Luvin'*, Rock*Land Buddies -
Ricky,
Shelby,
Davey,
Rev. Timmy

*Truth be told, Ricky's the only one who really cares about bicycles.

Skip, we semi-love you.

If these emails are a drag, you just cut your drag in half, my friend.

"It's been too long, we're glad to be back..."

2005-09-06T18:32:00.000-04:00

We know you've been spending the last month trolling Canal Street trying to find some counterfeit Rock*Land Action to fill that big hole in your Thursdays (and your black little Rock & Roll Souls), and maybe you've even found some bargains. Perhaps you even braved a trip all the way up to Amsterdam Ave. to get some Stooges or Stones but ended up with a baggie of Oregano or Black Crowes that amused you for a while.

But deep down, you know the stitching is shoddy, the zipper doesn't quite work right, your nose felt funny and there just doesn't seem to be as much Saxon, Eddie Cochran or Naked Raygun blaring.

Well, clever cats that we are, we stockpiled a bunch of Sudafed and Brake Fluid and cooked up a whole new batch of unadulterated, genuine, DEA prohibited:
Rock*Land
at Route 85A - downstairs - 85 Ave A btw 5th/6th
Thursday - Sept. 8, 2005
10pm till the whole works goes fireball on us.
(hopefully, not all over all of us)

With all your favorite truants writing essays on what they did this summer:

Ricky - who turned in a crumpled piece of notebook paper stuck together with some unidentified goo. (we don't want to know.)

Shelby - who submitted a scathing 20 page diatribe against Eugene V. Debs and how he ruined the Monkees chances at being taken seriously as a band/cultural phenomenon. (Nice penmanship, but a little off topic.)

Davey - Who printed out all the pages of his blog, tied them to a cinder block and then hucked them, flaming, through the principal's window. (A+, for effort, originality AND accuracy.)

Rev. Timmy - Who insisted that he did meet some "girl' and her "friend" from "Canada" and had a story a lot like one in Penthouse Forum from April or May of 1986. (Eyebrows have been raised in general as tangible evidence of "the girl", "the friend" OR "Canada" was not supplied, or really plausible.)

And of course Miss Jilly, who's tanned, rested and ready to serve all legal beverages.
(Note: No White Russians after Labor Day.)

Other stuff to fill out your fleeting four day week with:

The New Official Richard Bacchus Website:
http://www.richardbacchus.com/index.html

Dave's GreedoNeverFired Blog (Get there quick before we figure out the html to make it burst into flames and bust through your window):
http://greedoneverfired.blogspot.com/

R.L Burnside passed this last week (you might not care, but the Rev. does):
http://www.fatpossum.com/home.html

All of us at R*L are deeply saddened by the drubbing New Orleans took from Katrina.
(It's in good fun when it's a Memphis Minnie song. OK, or a Led Zepp song, you philistines.)
Remember, this is the home of, to name a few : Louis Armstrong, Earl King, Fats Domino, The Meters, Irma Thomas, Dr. John, Professor Longhair, Lee Dorsey, John Kennedy Toole and the whole tradition of Sorority Girls showing their tits to get beads. Please give what you can.
(Unless you've got a 20 ft tall, 10 mile long levee handy, they probably just need your dough.)
https://give.redcross.org/?hurricanemasthead

If you really think showing your tits will help,
then come on down to Rock*Land.

How can you miss us if we don't go away?

With it being so obnoxiously hot and humid in the city that we can barely peel ourselves off the naugahyde couch to try and dry off in the shower and the television offering little but reruns of shows that sucked the first time, we here at Rock*Land have taken a page from the less inspiring latter career of The Rolling Stones.
To whit:
1) Make crap album.
2) Release (another) "Greatest Hits" with crap single from new album.
3) Tour ($$$)
4) Release "Live" Record of Tour.
5) Rinse.
6) Repeat.

So with that in mind pull on your dark socks and sandals and head down to...
Rock*Land
sponsored by the kind folks at Rheingold Beer
at Route 85A - downstairs - 85 Ave A btw 5th/6th
Thursday
10pm till the network execs pull the plug.

With all your favorite family episodes:

"Leave that Elf Alone!" - the first of a special two parter in which Ricky learns the true meaning of Kwanzaa.
"I'll Do to that Elf Whatever I Fancy" - the startling conclusion, in which Shelby teaches Ricky the false meaning of Kwanzaa with the aid of a cattle prod and a Nixon mask.
"Bloodfeast of the Zombie Aliens with Laser Eyes" - a never aired pilot, starring Dave, which was slightly retooled and became the long running and beloved "Friends."
"Reverend Timmy meets the Return of the Son of the Revenge of the Phantom of the Park" - which received a Cable Ace nomination for "Best Writing for Finger Puppets in a Shoddy Sequel Special"

and of course, how could you ever tire of the continually high-caliber performance of Miss Jilly
(we're all really fond of the part where she gives us our drinks.)

Other reasons not to watch T.V. coming soon:
Our very own Richard Bacchus and his band Vasquez on "Live at the Continental, Best of NYC Vols. 1 & 2"
(stay tuned for the 411 on the record release party, July 30 - week from Saturday - The Continental)

In an effort to keep the wheel turning and hype the crap out of something before anyone else gets ahold of it and uses it for a Volkwagen commercial, we here at Rock*Land are very proud to have 2 members of the up and coming band:

Chorizo Lightning
http://www.chorizolightningrulestheuniversebandnyc.net
DJ'ing with us this Thursday.

Emperor Marcus Aurelius
&
Huevos Thunderos
(undisputed master of the Moogerfooger)
http://moogmusic.com/detail.php?main_product_id=111
And you thought we were making that Moogerfooger thing up.
(Fair enough, we thought he was making it up, too.)

So grab your electric sausage, and head on down to:
Rock*Land
sponsored by the kind folks at Rheingold Beer
at Route 85A - downstairs - 85 Ave A btw 5th/6th
Thursday
10pm till all the meat products are speakin' Mexican.

Along with the usual overcooked, greasy breakfast food products:
Ricky - who played briefly with MA and Huevos when they were touring as "The Tinkerbell Chorus and Revue"
Shelby - who thinks the band is probably a bunch of knuckleheads and is glad this'll probably be the last anyone hears of them.
Davey - who attended college with MA and thinks he may still be owed $40 on a hockey bet. (Rangers 4 - Pens 2, c'mon, man. We shook on it!)
Rev. Timmy - who is terrified of any band formed since 1989 and will probably cower in the office until someone lets him play a Gene Vincent record.

and of course the delightful Miss Jilly, whose mastery of distilled and malted beverages will no doubt soon earn her at least 15 minutes of fame.

More one hit Rock*Land wonders to scribble on your calendar (or your forearm):
Wednesday - July 13 (that's next Wed)
Arlene's Grocery - 95 Stanton St. between Ludlow and Orchard St's.
11:30 pm - Richard Bacchus
http://homepage.mac.com/rickybacchus/Menu8.html
11pm - The Reverend Timmy James
http://www.revtimmyjames.com/
10pm - Slip of a Girl aka Catherine Whyte
http://www.slipofagirl.com/
9pm - Jude Kastle
http://www.judekastle.com/

Also Ricky & Rev. Timmy are going to Boston:
(to try to get a whole other kind of curse going)
July15 8:00 PM - The Abbey Lounge - 3 Beacon St , Somerville, Boston
http://www.abbeylounge.com/

So get down here and meet
Chorizo Lightning
They'll be playing songs from their new album
"Indavisible" throughout the night
and generally yucking it up in an obnoxious manner.
But then, if you're not used to that yet,
you ain't getting used to it.

Well the word came down to all us weirdo, pinko, faggot alcoholics at R*LHQ that we had to "get right with God" and start doing things in the "American Way".
So with an eye toward avoiding "enemy combatant" status and having all of our MC5 records flushed down a latrine in Gitmo we proffer these U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act Approved celebratory activities for the coming 4th of July Weekend.

Shoot something.

Hit a French person. (Hit'em with a banjo for patriotic bonus points.)

Drive a car with a really big engine really fast in a straight line.

Tie some sort of colored ribbon around something to show your support for something.
(You'll never guess what color Ricky used, or what he tied it around, or what he's supporting.)

Then on Monday, July 4th after the fireworks (10pm or so) it's all back to Route 85A for grillin' and chillin'!
This could be your only chance to see a planned fire at Rock*Land all summer.

So saddle up and head on down

We sent Dave to Jamaica for a week with 3 undisclosed ladies.

We sent Rev. Timmy back to Ohio to have unspeakable surgical procedures performed AND
made him give up smoke, drink and drugs for two whole weeks.
(Here at R*L HQ we'll be paying for that one for a long time.)

We've sent Shelby & Ricky to both England and Charlottesville, Virginia.

We've even let Miss Jilly play records and have a birthday.

Boba Dave - who travels the galaxy swearing revenge against those responsible for letting Ewoks kill fully armored Storm Troopers with rocks and coconuts (ok, SPACE coconuts)

Rev2Tim2 - who desperately wants to put a couple star systems between himself and that golden, mincing, limey: C-3PO (boundries?)

(the last we saw Ricky, he was wandering around in the Ice Caverns, jumping out at people and offering them yellow sno-cones)

And of course all of your (beverage) desires will be completely taken care of by the delightful Miss Jilly.

Sham*Rock*Land

With the usual leprecauns:

Ricky - The Electric Leprecaun
Shelby- The Lovely Lady Leprecaun
Dave- The Least Irish AND Tallest Leprecaun
Rev. Timmy - Voted the Rock*Land DJ most likely to blow up the London Stock Exchange, 3 years running.

And of course that donny lass: Miss Jilly, distributing the very beverages that have kept the Irish from ruling the world all this time.
(ask her nice and maybe she'll show you her pot o'gold)

HunterThompsonLand

All of us here at Rock*Land are greatly saddened by the recent passing of our literary, philosophical and pharmaceutical hero; Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

As the inventor of Gonzo Journalism, teller and liver of amazing tales and scathing observer of the on-going perversion/demolition of the American Dream, he set the bar high for all of us in the bad craziness game.

So, we humbly offer up this week's issue of our rock party as some small testament to the man who made this world a better place by describing just how savagely twisted it is.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro:
Rock*Land
10pm, Thursday
Route 85A
downstairs, 85 Ave. A btw 5th & 6th

With the usual degenerates:
Ricky, Shelby, Dave, Rev. Timmy

We're hoping to lay in a mess of grapefruit, shrimp cocktail and club sandwiches , but the room service people have been reluctant to serve us ever since we terrorized one of the maids (wholly accidentally and understandably).
There's also some issue about an expired Diner's Club Card and The Magazine cutting off our expense account.
Selah.

Miss Jilly has assured us, though, that there will be plenty of Tequila, Wild Turkey, Chivas and the usual spirited beverages behind the bar.

As for amyls, ether, adrenochrome and mace, you're on your own.

Till Thursday you may wish to entertain yourself with the following:

So lace up your "Chuck Taylors", pull out your cigarette holder, put on your shooting glasses and come on by.
The worst that'll happen is we stomp you good and pull all your teeth out.
Oh, and don't worry about the bats...

You'll see them soon enough.

AThursDaysNightLand

Disappointed that your Valentine's Day ended up with you handcuffed to a gurney in St. Vincent's ER and your date running off with a police psychologist?

Filled with remorse over losing a $700 wager on the winner of "Best Spoken-word Album for Children"? ("City of New Orleans" my ass!)

Apprehensive that William Henry Harrison will get short shrift on yet another Presidents' Day?

Mildly annoyed that we're doing a rerun on last week's flyer even if Dave did work really hard on it?

Well, we can't help you.
But if you want to get drunk and listen to Rock records then come on down to:
Rock*Land
85 Ave A btw 5th/6th St.
10pm till you can't remember what you were griping about.

Special Guest this week is
Jason "Kuff Daddy" Kuffler at midnight.

with the usual gang of idiots:
Ricky
Shelby
Dave
Rev. Timmy
&
Jilly behind the bar, pimping Rheingold and other drink specials.

Other special Rock*Land related activities this week include:

Richard Bacchus (that's right, the very same)
at
9pm Feb 22 at
Mickey Blue Room
171 Ave. C btw 10th & 11th St.
with
Madjuana at 10pm
and
Lenny Kaye at 11pm

So get it together and come on out.
And if you're gonna cry, we'll give a reason to cry.

Ten thousand apologies for our email list being sent out earlier this week.
(Mistakes were made and the guilty have been severely punished.)

Every Year thousands of well meaning New Yorkers stay home the night before New Years Eve under the false impression that they are “saving it up” for the big night... And every January first its the same story...

Embarrassing trips to St. Vincent's, crippled brunch plans and streets awash in the gooey consequences of unprepared stomachs.

Don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution. RockLand offers an evening clinic specifically designed to prepare revelers of all abilities for the coming debauchery.

THURSDAY • DEC 30TH • 10pm
ROUTE 85A BAR • 85 AVE A • BTWN 5th & 6th • DOWNSTAIRS
Remember!

“Staying in the night before New Years is like closing your eyes to take a punch.” dh

Finally, The RockLand crew has a Rock & Roll recommendation...

Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse, open Slayer.

Well boys and girls, it's that season again where the big fella at the North Pole totes up your nices and naughties to determine if this will finally be the year you get a pony, or just another collection of ill fitting clothing you're not going to wear anyway.

So after you've bludgeoned your way through your Christmas shopping, why not come and sip some egg-nog with some folk who make everybody look nice by comparison?

Rock*Land
10pm 'til ?
Thursday
Route 85a
(85 Ave. A btw 5th & 6th Streets)

With your favorite nutcrackers:
Ricky (The Atomic Elf)
Shelby (The Solar Powered Sugar Plum Fairy)
Dave (The Coal-in-your-Stocking Powered Heatmiser)
Rev. Timmy (The Steam Powered Scrooge, bah-humbug)

And Jingle-Bell-Jilly behind the bar providing Spirits of Christmas Hangovers Yet to Come.

So even if you're just getting over Chanukah, gearing up for Kwanza or
just sorta hangin' around 'til Tet gets rolling, come by for some secular holiday cheer in the form of Rock and/or Roll.

We can play reindeer games until everyone has a big red nose.
(gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh are optional, but customary)

God rest ye merry gentle-skip.

On our honor we will do our best
To do our duty to Iggy Pop and our sound system

To Rock other people at all times;
to keep ourselves physically impaired,
mentally twisted and morally bankrupt.
So help us, God.
(please, help us)

We know
it's only Rock and Roll,
but we like it.

skip, we love you.
