Remember, remember the 5th of December, gunpowder, treason and plot....
In dear old England on November the 5th, people will have bonfire/firework parties as they remember old Guy Fawkes, a man who tried to blow up Parliament back in the day, and who was hung, drawn and qaurtered for his trouble. His big problem was that the gunpowder he had stashed under the houses of parliament got wet, so it would not ignite! Anyhow, in the weeks leading up to Guy Fawkes night, kids used to carry around a stuffed effigy of Guy Fawkes, shouting 'A Penny For The Guy'. This was actually a way to hustle for money so they could buy fireworks to blow each other up with. There used to be a lot of exploded frogs round my way in the weeks leading up to the fifth. On the big day, folks have bonfire parties, (the Guy Fawkes dummies get thrown on the bonfire) let off fireworks and eat and drink a lot. If this paints a picture of a weird holiday, well, ok, but I always liked it, and here is a mix to go with the day!

Track 2 from Experience Hendrix
Length: 00:02:43 Year: 1998 |
|
|
Track Description:
Different song, same title. Jimi sings 'Let me stand next to your fire.' The origin of this is supposed to be that when Jimi first landed in England, his manager hooked him up with a band, and the bass player Noel Redding took the great man home to meet his Mum. Jimi was not reacting to the British winter all that well, and so asked if he could stand next to the fire. I would so like that to be true! SHOW LESS

I was going to end this on a cop out and put 9in Elton's 'song for guy' when I remembered this. Green On Red are one of those bands who were never that big, yet I am mildly shocked that there was none of their stuff here on MTC. Now there is. Enjoy Novemeber 5th kids, and remember, always keep your fireworks in a sealed metal box under the supervision of an adult. Oh yeah, and if you plan to blow up the British parliament, use dry gunpowder for fucks sake! SHOW LESS

The Badge of Mystery
Huh?!? Where did this come from?
awarded on 2008-08-14
Level 26
I love Guy Fawkes day. We celebrated it when I lived in Canada, and while I was young and didn't quite understand it, I was stoked about bonfires and burning a dummy of a dude.
And I agree about the Blood Brothers song.

The Halloween 2007 Badge
Happy Halloween 2007! In celebration of this event, here is a recipe to make your very own candy corn:
Combine 1 cup of razor blades, 2 cups of clown tears and 3/4 tablespoon spider eggs in a pan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and add 2 cups hemlock and 3 ounces of fish oil. Stir until cool enough to handle. Shape and distribute.
Trick or treat!

The Valentine's Day 2008 Badge
Happy Valentine's day from the MTC staff. We really do love you all. So much so, in fact, that you should probably investigate a temporary restraining order -- we're crazy like that.

Sounds like loads more fun than our boring old 4th of July celebrations. All you hear music-wise on that day anymore is Sweet Home Alabama (even if you live in California) & that lame post-911-America-is-SO-awesome "we'll put a boot in your ass" country song. I'd rather blow up frogs & listen to The Clash & Portishead.

Happy Guy Fawkes day! I saw Dick Dale about 3 years ago and it is amazing how quickly that sound comes off of his guitar. At one point I remember going cross eyed because I was trying to watch his fingers. cheers cheers cheers
