WORDS FROM SuperBNess:
I started this page as a way to showcase all my nail and nug pics that I’ve been taking over the years plus feature other cannabis culture related things, current nail trends as well as artsy stuff that I deem as dope and worthy. My goal is to continue to create content while continuing to support & network as a #CannabisConnoisseur within the #CannabisCommunity
With that being said I look forward to smoking, vibing and collaborating on all platforms I spoke of and more. Matter of fact I recently had the opportunity to reach out and work with this talented Sista & artist @goddessvibratesog who took the time to draw this beautiful colorful new @nailsnugsnesseties logo that I’m excited to put up as my profile picture and a new way to represent my brand. Thank you and shout out once again to @goddessvibratesog for the lovely art work as well as getting it done for me in a timely fashion. I’m forever grateful.   05E90BFF-C3E5-4D76-9269-B9C693A8A30A
To my followers thank you for clicking like and showing love. Make sure and stay tuned for exclusive content and other upcoming projects that I’m working on.

Hey .. hAPPY NEW YEAR .. what’s good .. Ness and I have been gone quite a bit of  time …  alot has happened .. lots of things have changed .. DUDE.. BUD IS LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA .. WHATTTTT !!..  sadly Obama was the president last time we all caught up with each other and HELL .. PRINCE and BOWIE were still on the planet the last time we were on here .. DAMN… ok well we will get into it ..  SuperNess is still smoking , traveling and flourishing in the lush evergreen backdrop of Seattle WA while I , BJ have been doing the same in nitty-gritty LA city . We both have had life changes , career changes , all types of experiences and changes, within that lengthy period of time that we have been absent from this platform . We are here to share some of our shit AND .. to get  back in the game because when we started this blog; there were not half the variety of weed blogs that there are today .  and thusly ;.. Banger Sisters are back..  just putting some feelers out there and testing some ADMIN changes we made before i hit y’all with all this bud and content .  So watch this space .. we want to know what you are smoking, how you are smoking it , where you got it ,  How it was grown , what you cooking , what movies and books are you into right now .. WHY you guys are out here rocking 2000 dollar Skechers …what the hell IS GOING ON I mean i am glad I am always high because damnit shit is so funny right now HA !!   IMG_2542

We will be sharing with you guys things that we think are dope to do read, watch , smoke, cook, eat as well  and Ness has a new feature just for the ladies who toke .. NUGS AND NAILS  .  soon we will be asking for pics of lovely manis with nuggs , bongs, blunts, joints ETC.   The page is in the process of a complete makeover  because she is a bit dated aesthetically, that being said it still has shit in the archives that OTHER BLOGS JUST AINT GOT and aren’t dope enough to know or care about .   Rare interesting content, like run on sentences will continue here on Bamboobanga .  When you want to have a good time and take a break from the gossip blogs ; come look at some random shit with US and smoke !!!  .. now bear with us because what those other blogs DO HAVE that we don’t is STAFF .. yes it’s just us two .. Ness and I and we like it like that , however with that dynamic duo approach comes a slower stream of posts , IN THE BEGINNING well the re re beginning because we been in this piece for roughly 10 yrs so HEY CELEBRATE .. WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK !!!!! .    420BAMBOOBANGA RETURNS !!!

Today … Deborah Harry is SEVENTY … YEARS OLD..

blondieWE love you Debbie… you are perfection .. let’s celebrate the life of the Blondie frontman, B-girl, (YESS B-GIRL and we can debate this all day nuugga..) and all around rock goddess today … Here’s to you Ms. Harry  Your awesomeness has not been wasted on us. Nobody has filled her shoes yet and please don’t come over here talmbout Gwen Stefani… Gwen is cool but this here IS DEBBIE DAMNIT. She has left her footprint firmly planted in the foundations of everything from art to music. blondie01We will not even try to break down how many trends she has mothered.  Hell Deborah was  A PLAYBOY BUNNY goshdarnit. I appreciate the fact too that Debbie is simiply growing older, she is not running around here with DDD titties, a snatched grill overdoing it.  Note to Madonna , although you are not quite 70 yet, BISH THIS IS HOW TO DO IT.  She is a powerhouse of a woman then , now and forever. She taught me to “Rip her to Shreds” and also informed me that the “Tide is High” . so covet your seat in the celestial landscape woman. We are forever  inspired… HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY DEBORAH HARRY  sidenote: Aren’t she and Chris Stein just the ultimate in relationship GOALS OMG..

Sooo .. who wants to fight zombies .. all the way to the Bahamas… ON A FRIGGIN BOAT..

giphydarrylso.. here we have 3 fun-filled .. days of HORROR.. yes.. you will be on a SHIP traveling from Miami to the Bahamas… WITH ZOMBIES.. on the bright side .. Darryl and Beth will be there to protect you hahaahahah.. I think they should mix it with The Love Boat and have Captain Stubbing at the captains dinner zombied out .. or perhaps you might be able to get a Mojito from an Undead Isaac( anyways FOCUS..)  …   This Walking Dead themed cruise sets sail in January and is already filling up fast. The entire “Norwegian Pearl” will be chock full of zombies, games, functions, cosplay contests and cast members, (Sasha, Bob and Carl will also be there to name a few) .    I personally am in fact a Walking Dead super fan but i don’t know if I could deal with constant zombies on a fucking OCEAN LINER.. just me,  zombies , and the friggin OCEAN.. I don’t know .. The event is being called The Walker Stalker Cruise and this gig is GOIN UP .. i just think it will have to go up sans me though… tothedomeImagine leaving the boat club/bar/situation by yourself drunk as hell trying to get to the cabin, you gotta pee, you haven’t smoked any kush , and here come Davy Jones and some other gnawed up looking sumbitch .. On the other hand it’s a cruise .. so it’s probably gonna be fun..  I mean i would rather run from a half eaten ACTOR zombie than one of those blue tooth in the ear,  silk royal blue twin set, Huarache sandal wearing muhfuckas on the Funk Fest Cruise or something .  On some real stuff though , if you are brave and require this type of horror at sea to feel complete … check out  The Walker Stalker Cruise website for questions and to purchase tickets, while they still have them…

P.R.Royal OG

Royal Og and Crumble

Royal OG with a lil Snoop OG crumble

Ok.. so sometimes a bitch cannot afford any of my lil cute 90 dollar a gram boutique bud providers or my favorite delivery situation.  My light bill might have been particularly aggressive that week or some other monetary bullshit went down and messed with my MEDICINE BUDGET ..Ya know.. the fund had been tampered with lol..  When the coin has been compromised and shit is tight, my people at KUSHMART always come through in a CLUTCH.   This spot has specials like Crazy 88’s and 5 gram TOP SHELF strains for minimal donations. They also offer BOGO deals EVERYDAY… so you can literally come in with a ten-dollar donation and leave with 2 GRAMS of good herbage. They also offer incentive programs for rewards, they have THE OG Rick Simpson oil. (which is hard to find), all kinds of waxes, crumbles and oils, their concentrate section is very large, in fact this is one of the LA homes for Kurupt’s Moon Rock… I am truly a pot snob and I couldn’t believe what I was able to get with a mere 40 Buck donation.. and hell if you need to donate less than that , you can STILL find a decent strain. This place comes through when the budget might not be on super fat … when you need to cop , FOR THE WHOLE WEEK with a little bit of nothing. You can also come here though when your pockets are ON MAYWEATHER status and you are only buying THE MOST QUALITY OF QUALITIES, the highest echelon of the KINE … I am just saying their price points are dope for the quality of the herb, you will get, if you are on a budget.  OH BUT THEY GOT THE LOUD THOUGH .. they are not just a budget spot ,let me be clear.

pr royal og 2Quality can never be placed in detriment, even with minimal ends and this local spot is guaranteed to have what you need. If you require a very high-end Kushington or a superb Indica Dominant Hybrid, if your preference is straight Sativa or you want cooking shake or butter, this spot here is your gig. Kushmart  has an impressive array of edibles; popcorn, brownies, Kiva Bars, Cheeba Chews, Gummy Bears even medicated sodas and beverages.   IT’S THE MART.. so whatever it is, herb related , it is HERE .It runs very concise, professional and quick , IF you know what you want already. The budtenders are friendly and seem to be capable and knowledgable of their strains .LOL.. BELIEVE ME . I AM THE ASSHOLE PATIENT. i need to know everything about the strain, “who it’s pappy” , what seed, what soil , it’s a hybrid of what, is that the CBD to THC ratio for today or is this old, have you smoked it , what’s the bouquet?????  I am kidding but I do like to know what’s up before i donate. I need for the herb to be sticky and soft, pungent and if it’s an OG I need the full body taste at the end.. I CAN’T BE FRONTED ON in the herb department and I always get what I need at Kushmart.

KUSHMART OG

KUSHMART OG

We actually medicate here at this blog,  it’s not just about being HIGH .. we use it  ( and get high, of course ) but we heal ourselves from our various ailments and it’s important that your budtender handle this process exactly like that, it is not the homies bud house , but a place where people who suffer can get their meds in peace.They have really cool people who work there and the atmosphere is lovely. Good music, quick assistance, knowledgeable budtenders, friendly faces, patient PATIENTS, lol.. this spot gets an A PLUS… KUSHMART JARMy favorite strains there are the staple Kushmart OG, The Matt’s P.R. (which you can always get a good deal on and this high-powered P.R. Royal OG that appears to be a mix of a HEAVY OG and a subtle P.R and the effects are ROYAL. This strain is not one that you will get on the BOGO or 5 GRAM deal BUT .. it’s a really awesome donation for a 3.5.. TREAT YO SELF .. SHOOT .  I enjoy their Snoop Og crumble as well and I do grab a lil bit of Moon Rock from time to time I always grab one 180MG Vanilla Chai Kiva Bar and a pack of RAWS…   so .. yeah .. !

Go Check out the good people of Kushmart .    It’s worth the experience.  Here is what I was listening to while blowing trees and writing this blog.. you know .. so you can feel it.. HAHAHAA

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY FELLAS..

Birkenstock originals

Yes , the shoe once  reserved for tree huggers and those of the granola and patchouli  ILK have risen from the Acapulco Gold formed ashes like a phoenix and came through to represent … BIRKENSTOCKS ,the most controversial shoe on the planet.. Families and friendships have been divided for decades,  upon debating their ugliness or efficiency as a shoe..

 A few years back I had an awesome pair of Michael Kors metallic pink joints that I wore until they DIED … there was no repairing them .. so I played taps and moved on ( sniff , sniff) .. I still have them though .. JUST TO SAY .. 10 YRS AGO i rocked Birkenstocks BITCHES ( i was in the 2nd or 3rd wave of the return) … IN METALLIC PINK.. observe this.. ok… but I digress.. birkenstocks the loop These cork bottomed arguably attractive beauties have been around since the 60’s.. I promise you that your mom or grandma, (depending on your age) . was pissing in the fields at Woodstock rocking some friggin BIRKIES dude….    and now you can get them everywhere..in any , shape , design, color or fabric….THERE ARE JELLY BIRKENSTOCKS… Sit with that for a quick cute second..

jellybirks

birkenstocks-eva-chen-lead-pic the gloss dot comIn LA, they sell pyramid studded Birkenstocks at THE SLAUSON SWAP MEET .. no really .. THEY HAVE HIT THE HOOD with a fierce fleeky intensity so, whether you are ‘FUCKIN UP SOME COMMAS’ or in the “Age of Aquarius”  the Birkenstock revival is upon us and YES THEY ARE ACTUALLY CUTE … and comfy as shit ..  I can’t front.. I never thought I would see my sistas from around the way slidin out of the mani/pedi situation donning a pair of cork bottomed hippie sandals .. NEVER THOUGHT.. but the day has arrived…    As cute as some of these are there is no WAY you could be apprehensive, so run out and in the VINTAGE WORDS OF BIG SEAN ” go in and get ya some” …..

Birkenstock/ Givenchy

            GIVENCHY

GIVENCHY

I noticed the low key ,subtle resurgence of this shoe last summer. I saw that they were casually being rocked by quite a few laid back , yoga induced, hipsters but not in an obivous way.. ya know but instead more of , like, on the way to Ashtanga Yoga or your V-Steam appointment or some shit like that … I noticed this spring though that people were rocking these things in places other than Whole Foods or Farmer’s Market.   I was noticing Birkenstocks in prints, floral, outstanding colorways, HIGH end.. Low End…

Birkenstock

I MEAN .. they are back…   Everyone from Birkenstock ( THE OG’S) to Givenchy is serving up some type of Birkenstock or “inspired by” sandal… ranging from 15 to several hundred dollars.. for comfort and of course FASHION DAHLIN!!!!… .. OH and it’s also popular to really get throwed and toss on some comfy socks to compliment your joints. I am not sure how long we will have with this trend.. I mean are they here forever LIKE THE REVIVAL OF THE LEGGING, ( throws hands to heavens a la Ruby Dee in Jungle Fever) … or will it be a trend like so many others and fade away after SUMMER OF 2015, as for me… this here is FINALLY .. a fashion trend i can get with I mean how can we not enjoy .  “GO TO THE GROCERY STORE CHIC”… or .. “Mother Stoner Couture” .. LOL… that’s right up my alley …  I am always down to represent for the White Rabbit around this bitch … ( lights joint)       … 😉

That 3 Girl Classic Situation PART 1.. MADAME X *FLASHBACK FRIDAY*

Original Post date .. Feb/ 2012

This post is an ode to the 3 girl groups of my choice.. SO.. let’s serve up a little VINTAGE..  Madame X..  AND LATER..  some Vanity 6.. (I am an OG .. I DON’T FUCK WITH APPOLONIA 6) well i did like A MILLION MILES but that was the BRENDA OF IT ALL ..LOL..anyway class today’s lesson is.. about :MADAME X

.Madame X released “Just That Type of Girl“, their first single from the self titled album Madame X on Atlantic Records in the late 80s. “Just That Type of Girl”, quickly climbed the dance and R&B Charts to #4 Billboard. The group’s producer, Bernadette Cooper from the Solar/MCA group Klymaxx, organized the group as she and the Madame X members envisioned the group’s concept. The Klymaxx sound heard on such hits as “The Men All Pause” and “Meeting In The Ladies Room” was blended with Madame X’s music and fashion personas to create a brand new sound. Group members, Iris Parker, Valerie Victoria and Alisa Randolph brought with them artful inspiration and vintage sass, similiar to what you may have though of Labelle in their eclectic hey day.. , their bold fashion and mysticism. Another essential element in the group’s sound and style is their shared love for the music of artists like Prince, Parliament-Funkadelic, Sly and The Family Stone and Grace Jones. Passing up their opportunity to sign to Solar Records, Madame X was snapped up by Sylvia Rhone, who headed the Atlantic Records’ R&B division. When Madame X debuted their imagery was ground-breaking and they influenced the artistic standards in the R&B and Hip-Hop scene. Following up the release of Just That Type of Girl, they released the singles, “I Wonder” and “I Want Your Body” as well as the title tracks for motion pictures such as “Action Jackson” starring Sharon Stone and Vanity. Madame X’s songs continue to be played and sampled, most famously on Michael Jackson’s hit song “Keep It In The Closet”. Original CDs are cult-collected(TRANSLATION: hard to fucking find)

Sadly Alisa Marie Randolph succumbed to breast cancer in 05.. they say she remained beautiful til the bitter end.. 😦

Classic joints from these ladies….  Cherries in the Snow, I Wonder, Just that Type of Girl, Madame X, Marry Me, shoot ,  me and my teenage homegirls used to LOVE THEM

So If you remember.. take this trip back in time with us .. when female performers  were actually DOPE.. and not ALLL ABOUT ASS..  and if you don’t remember.. that’s what Auntie Beejay is here for.. “See you gon’ learn today” …

Sound Bites: The Goodies… The Parliaments x Parliament

The Journey of a beat:

par1966

The Parliaments..”All Your Goodies Are Gone”.. . in 1967  George said.. “Let me give it to ya’ll like this here”

PARLIAMENTFUNK

Parliament …In 1974,  after many more joints and trips… George STILL REFUSED the loser’s seat., ya’ll gone get this work.. REWORKED IT….!!!.     “All Your Goodies are Gone”. off the Up for the Down Stroke LP.. ( that’s real 70’s .. read it in a Frankie Crocker voice..”off the elllll peeeee ) HAHAHAAH … . the more gangsta , funk face version…

and then in the 80s Herby Luv Bug sped it up .. and VOILA.. Salt N Pepa

Everybody Get Up !!!!

shut up …..  you know ya’ll used to fuck with this… hahahah ..

 

Kick it up , Kick it up AGAIN.. *Flashback Friday Post*

Actual post date … May of 2009 YOU MISSED IT KID.. hahah LISTEN..THERE IS LIVE FISHBONE IN THIS BITCH FROM 87… GET IN HERE !!!

This is an actual excerpt from 1964’s This is Ska.  Observe the swagger of the dance.  This was the beginning of the first wave of the ska movement.  Started in Jamaica in the early 50’s, ska was the seed of what begat Reggae, Roots, and PUnk respectively.  I personally rocked with the 1st and 2nd wave of ska.. and of course Fishbone during all the waves lol.. This was a movement that spread to the US and had us all pushing Vespas, dressing two tone, and rocking monkey boots, creepers, and bitch boots.  But it’s not too late.. go cop you some Specials, English Beat, or Madness today.

Desmond Dekker R*I*P came thru with joints like “Rude Boy Train” and “The Israelites”
Ya’ll ain’t fuckin with Mr. Dekker’s jumpsuit.. He got the Maurice White tightness while representin that 2tone all day doggy lol..observe that Rude boy 2 tone motif… A little Prince Buster mixed with Johnny Taylor.. I ain’t mad.. (shakes head and lights joint.) I AM NOT MAD..

The Wailers started out as a ska band in the early 60’s … You can tell on such joints as “Concrete JUngle” and “Stir it up”.  A bit slower but this was you know when the “pick it up” turned into “cool it down”

Stir It Up


nods are also given to Prince Buster and Lee scratch Perry.. during this period.

Madness, Fishbone, The Specials Continue reading

Dispensary Review: Bud to go!!!! HerbPlease.Com

herbpleaseEvery week Superbbness and I will be giving you the goods on the local herb shops between good ole LOS ANGELES and the NORTHWEST region ( where the shit is completely LEGAL BABY ..AYEEEEE!!)  I just recently really got into bud delivery services here in LA  .  In the past I have actually been against this because last year i tried a service which shall remain nameless , and the herb was cool but I only had TWO choices.. the hell… I shop for bud like fruits and veggies.. I am like E-40 widit .. I NEED “CHOICES” DAMMIT .. anyway..  i went online to Herbplease.com and chose my flowers from a wonderful list of trees .They have Indicas, Sativas, and Hybrids.. So there I sat in my pajamas and bonnet, mouse in hand . ONLINE.. like it was crazy. just point and click like I was on Amazon buying books or some shit . I am just gleefully filling my cart . I was a bit nervous though because clearly a picture of some herb is one thing but the texture, smell and feel AND GOODNESS is a hole nug of another color.. I would have held a fool hostage up in here if he had got here and the shit looked like oregano .. HAHA .. it would be some smoke in the city and I ain’t talkin about KUSH SMOKE lol..just kidding.. I would have kindly sent him on his way without my coin BUT LUCKILY FOR ME that was not the case. The initial time they visit , they take a pic of your Doctor’s Rec and ID and after that no need until you of course renew  your recommendation.  They also have all sorts of deals and specials which is awesome. They do offer incentives with recycled bottles and Yelp Reviews which is always dope along with friendly and knowledgable honest delivery dudes.

Okay so getting to the herbals… TeslaOGMy favorite connoisseur strain is “Tesla OG”. this is a STRONG indica dominant HYBRID.. these types are my favorite strains.  I rarely smoke straight Indica and when I do i mix it with just a little TOP SHELF sativa.  I love Indica so i do need that to be dominant BUT .I like that little Sativa head high that slides through with the Indica’s body high . Ok so The Tesla OG is outstanding  you do get exactly a gram though when you buy 1 GRAM lol.. I am just keepin it 100 but the price is cool when you get 1/8ths and upwards . I would suggest getting more than a gram to get more bang for your buck, they have a 4 gram lil power pack that i always get and it’s beneficial to the pocket 😉     The other strains are great as well .. The tried and true Platinum Bubba Kush, an Indica hybrid of Platinum OG X Bubba Kush. She offers the earthy , hearty like warm taste with a real stoney head and body high asoociated with an Indica dominant/ Sativa strain..Superb… Vanderbilt OG is another special strain and it is  PART OG , PART PURPLE Hybrid and is slightly sweeter to the taste than the Tesla.,the feeling is very floaty and after I smoked it I cleaned the kitchen and organized the fridge IJS.. I always get the Jack Herrer when i order here because he truly is the King of Sativa strains.  Jack is my favorite daytime herb, I get so much done during the day when i smoke a little Mr. Herrer, It is usually my Wake and Bake strain.  Classic Jack YOU KNOW!!!!!   Edibles and everything you may need like papers, tips, blunts etc can be delivered with your meds, if you are in need. The concentrates are impressive,  right now i am working with a Blue Dream Crumble which i sprinkle generously through my Tesla/Jack joints.  They have a good selection of waxes, crumbles, melts and bubbles, all reasonably priced.HERBPLEASEPACKAGE  Don’t pass up the edibles section. They have Kiva Bars , Gummy Bears , HOney, Cheeba Chews and ey’thang in between.  I would suggest you really be BUYING some shit when you hit them up .. don’t be a jackass and try to get a hot DUB DELIVERED LOL.. don’t be that GUY .. Donate generously .. I really do enjoy this spot the packages are discreet and the drivers , again ,are always accommodating.  You order online , they call to confirm and you are on deck in about 30 minutes.  *sidenote: Don’t be trying to get no herb DELIVERED in your dusty ass , dangerous neighborhood* …you already know . ain’t nobody fucking with Western ,not really Crenshaw,  Normandie,  anything past Olympic traveling South  lol.. Pico .. USC AREA fa sho but any other part of Vermont not around Ktown you can FAGETTIT  . if it’s treacherous .. HELL NO ..LOOKS like dat ass will be in line at the spizzle .. AND THAT’S OK.. ( now my area is not all that great but i am ME ..so there’s that lol.. favors in the Kush community and that lot haahah )

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT !!! PART ONE….

so we are cinephiles here at Bamboobanga …. we are totally obsessed with FILM, Art,Kush and Television ,  respectively .. Superbbness and I both come from film and television backgrounds so we always are watching something AWESOME WHILE SMOKING  SOMETHING…

overtheege

Growing up ..i was obsessed with being a teen and taking shit over… I mean i was all things emo and angsty .. I am also deep into NOSTALGIA.. right now . i am going to share with you some of my favorite GET HIGH FLICKS.. where the fucking kids were NOT ALRIGHT  …

let’s start with 1979’s Over the Edge.. now if you saw the recent Kurt Cobain documentary “Montage of Heck” .. you would see that Cobain found inspiration in this little flick as well.. It was also one of the first films for Matt Dillon and Vincent Spano.. aww they were babies.. overtheedge2

The gist is that essentially this new little desert town , New Grenada . thinks that the local rec center THAT CLOSES AT 6PM.. is enough to provide entertainment and containment for their young people.. The adults basically ignore them until one of the kids gets a hold of a pistol and starts foolin around,  and accidentally (err) shoots and kills a local police officer .. UH OH .. the next night the old folk gather to decide what to do … and during that time .. ALL HELL BREAKS LOSE.. and the kids are in charge like Charles HAHAHAHAH… it’s cheesy and awesome… This movie also has a damn awesome soundtrack ( good luck finding it though)  , Jimi, Cheap Trick , (lots of Cheap Trick) , Van Halen, and The Ramones to name a few..   Director : Johnathan Kaplan …….Starring: Matt Dillon, Vincent Spano , Pamela Ludwig

My next favorite is 1983’s Suburbia .. now i have put this joint on here so many times.. but hell.. that was years ago so HERE IT IS AGAIN LOL.. .. So it starts off .with a teenage runaway chick hitch hiking, she is picked up by a lady with a baby .. the car gets a flat, (this was before cell phones ) .. the lady gets out to use the payphone on the side of the freeway and her baby  is mauled and killed by a rabid stray dog (off camera of course BUT STILL LOL) .. ..  GOT YOUR ATTENTION. yeah that’s how i felt as a preteen LIKE OMG, WHAT THE FUCK , hahaha ..surburbia

We then see young Evan with his bitter drunk ass mama going through it .. He goes to see TSOL .. somebody slips him a mickey and he meets up with blonde coiffed punk  Jack who offers him a place to stay … Evan is like fuck it ..”my life is shit anyways” .. and on their way to the raggedy ass squat house.  (T.R House, which is a raggedy squat house in an unincorporated part of land off the 605) .. they  pick up another wayward kid.. Joe Schmo who is salty because his dad is gay … soooo anyways a bunch of shit goes down .. the house is full of young punks, ONE OF THEM a very young FLEA FROM THE CHILI PEPPERS ha he plays a dude with a rat named RAZZLE. AAAH  Flea!!!!!!!!!!
fleaandratThe young squad becomes THE REJECTED.. erego the moniker,T.R.  These kids loot to live, get drunk , and revolt against “THE MAN” ..   yadda yadda .they become the neighborhood menaces .. . it all ends in a culmination of FUCK .. this is one of my favorite flicks… it’s cheesy too .. but as a young PUNK (in my mind).. this told my story hahahahah..   A cautionary tale of Mohawks and rebellion .. most of the actors were not actors but real local punks and i have always thought that was really rad.. never mind that it was not going to be in line for any Academy Awards hahahaha…   Penelope Spheeris of “The Destruction of Western Civilization” documentaries did a cool job with this low budget nugget.. so roll up .. lay back and enjoy.. also get up and dance around when “Washed Away” comes on.. that’s the jam .. AYEEEEEEE  Director and Writer : Penelope Spheeris  Starring: Chris Pederson , Bill Coyne, Jennifer Clay and FLEA .. Suburbia-Dress-10

moving on to 1983’s. The Outsiders” LET’S DO IT FOR JOHNNY” ..

outsders

So this little gem is probably the most POPULAR .. amongst  you reading this..I mean  who doesn’t say “Stay Gold” ..or “Let’s Do it for Johnny” .. on the regular hahahah ..Now this group of teens were not neccessarily trying to TAKE OVER per se’ but they still struggled with every young person’s relatable need tosurvive,  fit in and rule in their region.. . I remember crying when Karate Kid ( Johnny Cade played eloquently by the forever young Ralph Macchio)  died .. HE WAS JUST TRYIN TO SAVE THE BABIES YA’LL…….( tears) ….johnny There is not really a huge breakdown for this classic as the story is quite cut and dry ..  .. S.E. Hinton’s novel inspired this celluloid treasure , it is the age old battle between the Have’s and the Have nots ensues.. with much carnage and fervor…. as a young-un i am sure i had a crush on the ENTIRE gorgeous cast LOL… Basically a rumble between the poor Greasers and the ballin Socs ends with a death and then it’s really ON.. This is one of my faves and the cast is BANANAS ..Director: Francis Ford Coppola Starring: Tom Cruise, Diane Lane, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze ,Emilio Estevez, Leif Garrett, C.Thomas Howell  *fun fact: author of novel S.E. Hinton is featured as a nurse in the hospital where Johnny dies*)

1983’s  RumbleFish …

rumble-fish-DI-06

Here is another classic that we have featured here on Bamboobanga BEFORE, (in case you missed our last Rumblefish piece.. here ya go )  but no worries, allow me to REITERATE the greatness of this joint here.  Rumblefish was boasts almost the same cast as The Outsiders and is inspired by and based on Hinton’s novel “Rumblefish” . The screenplay was written on the weekends when Coppola and Hinton weren’t filming The Outsiders, talking about WORK ETHIC …MAN.. ANYWAY .. this movie is literally a cornucopia of young eighties actors on the come up .. Matt Dillon is a long way from Shady Pines as young teenage hard head, Rusty James; he and his crew roam the HARD streets of Oklahoma City looking for some trouble and gang activity .. if he is not with his squad , ( Laurence Fishburne, Nicolas Cage,Christopher Penn , and Vincent Spano AGAIN.. ) then he is boo’d up with his lovely girlfriend .. Patty (Diane Lane) .dianelane rumble

Rusty’s mom bounced awhile back and left him and his brother Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Roarke)  with their drunk, welfare recipient dad ( Dennis Hopper) . Motorcycle Boy has just turned 21 and is the local OG in the neighborhood , MB leaves the city and in his absence Rusty tries to follow in his footsteps ,wreaking havoc and rumbling in the streets until his older brother returns and tells him to straighten up.  Rusty and his crew will have none of that ; it is still all about the turn up for them as they participate in extreme teenage mischief and illicit behavior  that will undoubtedly lead to their young demise . Motorcycle Boy appears to everyone to be losing his mind when in fact he just wants to keep it cool and just get to the shoreline LOL.( no really he has an obsession with seeing the water). This is not only great film, but the soundtrack is awesome too. Stewart Copeland ( Police) used experimental methods to score the film, getting assistance from Wall of Voodoo’s Stan Ridgway  for the popular title track “Don’t Box Me In”. Copeland also used the new (at the time) composing and tempo software,  Musync, an editing program allowing him to mix ambient sound from Tulsa’s streets within the actual soundtrack of the film.

Rumblefish is a poignant coming of age piece that allows for us to see the struggle between becoming a man and trying to find one’s place in an uninspiring environment . Two brothers are on opposite paths , yet both seem to lead to the inevitable destruction of the very fabric of who they are and who they are TRYING TO BECOME . (*Author S. E. Hinton makes a quick appearance as a local prostitute in this one*) 

Director: Francis Ford Coppola Writers: S.E. Hinton and Coppola Starring: Mickey Roarke, Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Chris Penn, Sofia Coppola, Vincent Spano, Dennis Hopper  ( More teen fuckery after the break) YO..THERE IS A SECOND PAGE YOU TWEAKER!!!!!!!!  Continue reading
