Do the Thud, by Tom Flynn 2 track album

My solo 7"s are now ready and waiting to be welcomed into your dysfunctional family.
Dale "Melvins" Crover did some drums
Marcelle "Star Pimp" Poulos sang some songs
And all the while I kept a watchful eye out so that no one got hurt in the process.

Balloons vs Grenades
YouTube video by TommmmmFlynnnnn Balloons vs Grenades

Behold the Official Rock Video for "Balloons vs Grenades", the flip side of my upcoming 7". It'll be released on 9/5, but you can preorder it now (if you're that sort of obsessed weirdo) at bandcamp or midheaven or the other usual places.

Tom Flynn One stop shop for all things (or, you know, MOST things) Tom Flynn-ish.

It's bandcamp Friday, the very special day when sensitive artists (like ME!) get a bigger share of the dough. I have a page up now with pretty much all of my musical exploits down through the ages, so feel free to go wild.

The soccer moms, goth teenagers, and elderly hippies were out in force in sleepy Lafayette, CA letting the passers-by know what they think about fascists. Probably 1000+ people. Lots of honking cars and even some guy on the sidewalk wailing away on the bagpipes.

Just finished recording my single at Earhammer with Greg Wilkinson and special guest vocalist Elma Marcelle Poulos (from some band called Star Pimp).

Suboptics, this Sunday 4/13 at 924 Gilman. We write the songs that make the young girls cry. We write the songs, we write the songs.

Suboptics will be participating in a righteous heavy rock avalanche this Saturday 3/1 at thee Stork Club in Oakland. With ZigZags and Haardvark. Show starts at 8.
Minors are absolutely forbidden because the music will be too sonically crushing for any children to withstand.

Voting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn’t Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the City It’s so easy to label people these days. From the way folks have been talking, you’d think everyone falls into two buckets: those who voted against...

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

There seems to be a surge of people who don’t understand irony, sarcasm, satire, or parody, which is unfortunate because all I have other than those things is pity and disdain

Great show at Oaklands Stork Club last night. Here’s Antler Family featuring veteran Bay Area punks Mia Dean (Frightwig) and Tom Flynn (Fang, Melvins, Starpimp, Duh) the openers were Florists- another band to see again. Good times!

2) Wes Robinson, after we had made an outrageous rock star demand of a $50 (!) dollar guarantee to play the show, handing me a brand new crisp 50 dollar bill at the end, complete with a "fuck off and die" attitude.

1) Henry Rollins (doing his best Manson imitation) getting right in my face intensely staring me down while brandishing a billiard ball in his fist. (Long stupid story behind that charming interaction).

Fang, Eastern Front "Day on the Dirt" 1983, from Murray's book. My youthful face is just visible poking out of the background on stage. My main memories from that day are:

I'm up on most VU lore, but this 3+ hour (!) opus fills some holes I never knew. Actually covers a lot, it's 1 hour+ until he even mentions the band forming. From John Cage to Lamont Young to Andy Warhol to Yoko Ono to Dylan to finally the fateful Cale/Reed meeting. 500songs.com/podcast/epis...
