Cows and Beer, Best Before:

Pseudianediekreuzen2_2_2 This photo recently came to the attention of myself and partner-in-crime DJ Diane Kamikaze via Dan Kubinski from Milwaukee's finest hardcore group ever, Die Kreuzen. It's a crowd shot from the stage at CBGB, taken by Dan just before he told us of Cliff Burton's death after this show, September 27th, 1986. Take a look a this motley bunch of glumsters and doofuses. That's me and Diane up front to the right anticipating the time of our lives, like every time we went to see Die Kreuzen. It's odd to calculate that this was 22 years ago and to imagine what everyone else in this picture is up to now. Steve Albini encapsulated that very year, himself and this band in this article from Forced Exposure. Here's a couple of musical clips courtesy of Mike Lupica's show to enjoy as you read here and here.

Pseu, what most impresses me about the photo is seeing that God sent down a sunbeam with which to illuminate you (and/or your hat).

Or is it Pseu's head which is producing such great incandescence?

I'm guessing you heard about Cliff Burtons' death in a more 'mature' surrounding than I did.That same day (9/27/86) I saw Agnostic Front + The Circle Jerks at City Gardens. I remember Roger Miret dedicating AF's set to Cliff B + then telling the crowd of his demise. There was a split second of remorse + reflection before the whole place turned into a big ole pit of mindless violence + chaos. Wudda way to mourn...

Scott Frampton (two rows back from Pseu's right) seems very upset about the emanating light.

I never noticed how much Steve Albini said "What's the deal" before...
