Elwin Thrasher is Glass Rock Life’s new political-rock correspondent. Not to be confused with anyone else [with any person in real life -ed, Glass Rock Life Lawyer] with the improbably awesome same name, Mr. Thrasher lives in the hearts and now heads of millions of dogs who detect the high pitched whistle of his skateboard. “Once they develop opposable thumbs, these canines will be our masters,” says Mr. Thrasher. “I am trying to inform them about our political and big rock culture so that we are not lost to a rewritten history.” Elwin joins Dr. David Jubb as one of the outsourced GRL posters who we cherish most. He can skate on a halfpipe too! McTwist!
Please see his first ghost written post below. But more importantly how you have read this, this, this, and this yet? Go for it.
A bidding war recently broke out over the Dave Mies signed copy of Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard, with the winning bid topping off at $3.5 million dollars, which should keep Glass Rock in the black for at least a couple weeks. Sales are now closed on the previous Into the Black List including Concert for Bangledash with the box falling apart. Said winning bidder Cosimo d’Medici, “Intercourse is now preserved for future generations.” Losing bidder Eric Clapton commented, “Medici was wonderful tonight.” See you in the studio, suckas!
[I] don’t know what this list means but Glass Rock are on it. Also, in an effort to keep the recording of Glass Rock II: Tall Firs Meet Soft Location II from stalling,the prize gem of Matt’s LP collection has been put on the block.
Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard $1,750,000
Dave Mies signed Eric Clapton: 461 Ocean Boulevard $2,000,000
Rumors continue to circulate surrounding the wherabouts of Ecstatic Peace!’s generous record advance for Glass Rock II, some involving Kathy Leisen’s Upper Peninsula Death Cult, others related to Matt’s summer sojourns to the questionable beaches of Long Island. Though rooted in truth, the absurdity levels round here are reaching White Light/White Heat territory (Aaron, help!); please return for more eruidite posts soon as well as news on the strangely emotional music of Glass Rock, the band that ***** em. Also, some Soft Location live tapes have popped up recently–working on getting those out at least to Tall Firs members soon.
Insane WeatherMan footage came across [my] desk this morning -SNOW- and between that and the new Ozzy book [I] started reading in the bookstore last night, [my] thoughts now remotely controlling the ‘intenet’ turned to Black Sabbath. Much to [my] delight, someone posted a whole buncha [fucking awesome] California Jam hitherto unseen.
Rock historians will explain why Sabbath works or not. Pasty Mother Jones readers will note those dudes in football [new] jerseys who will start beating the living daylights out of Orange County punk rockers in a few years. Some will ask, -What’s this have to do with a soft rock band who loves Wings [the band], kindness, and Motown, called Glass Rock , or a seemingly troubled weatherman inhabiting a character? The simple answer to any questions, comments, and concerns is, “Black Sabbath are awesome and playing in front of palm trees.”
(P.S. If you feel down today, drink orange juice and flip through that OZZY book to read sentences like ”Those Satanists became a real pain in the arse.” Seriously.)
