A friend gave me a big old zip file with them. I own most of the stuff on cassette from my youth, but it's nice to have it all listenable and iPodded. The thing that surprises me is how consistently they've grown as a band. They get a lot of shit for being "too corporate" now, but, even the newest album is just as angry and anti-government/anti-corporation as you can get. Sure, they got much slicker, and added "melodies" but, really, as a musician, you get to a point where you get sick of just shouting and making noise. The thing is the music gotten "better" and their political outrage has remained in tact. That's pretty admirable, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I'm wrong.|W|P|110237179196906017|W|P|The Ouevre of Bad Religion|W|P|joshfialkov@gmail.com12/05/2004 11:38:00 PM|W|P|Fialkov|W|P|

I love writing. Love it unendingly. Really flat out my favorite thing to do. But, I have one project I've been writing for a while that's just killing me. It's this 48 page OGN, I'm doing with an INCREDIBLE artist from the UK, who's just going to kill on it, but goddamn, do I have to finish it first. The problem with it, is that it doesn't come naturally to me. Genre-wise, it's a stretch, because it screams to be formulaic, but for it to be good, it can't be. So I have to go against the instincts of telling a story like this and do it "backwards" more or less. I'm nearly done, and once I am, and Eddie starts drawing it, I'll be very happy. Cause then it's on to the fun adventure story I got knocking around in my head.|W|P|110231140202780766|W|P|Hard Writing|W|P|joshfialkov@gmail.com12/05/2004 09:08:00 PM|W|P|Fialkov|W|P|

Well, I'm moving over to doing a new "professional progress" blog, just to keep me writing everyday, like it or not. So sit back, and enjoy.
