#294 200 Cigarettes: The Movie With The Best Musician Cameos... Ever!

Spinner.com just put a list online entitled "Musician Movie Cameos You Might Have Missed". There's the Lemmy Killmister in Airheads part, Anthony Kiedis with a Mister T. hairdo in Point Break and Pearl Jam in Singles to name but a few. I really doubt though, whether you could have actually missed these cameos, but whatevs.

One movie with great musician cameos got left out though. I'm talking about the movie 200 Cigarettes.
Set during New Year's Eve of 1981, in which, according to IMDB, "a collection of twentysomethings try to cope with relationships, loneliness, desire and their individual neuroses".
Long story short, Cristina Ricci is looking for a New Years Party in the Lower East Side, Manhatten, along the way meets Elvis Costello (musician cameo one) and ends up at a concert where Girls Against Boys (musician cameo two) dressed up as "punks" are playing "Boogie Wonderland".

The most important musician cameo (number three) however comes from my friend Marc McCoy, who used to be the singer for my old band Das Oath. He was hired to do The Pogo and is trying to look in the camera as much as possible. Watch below and skip to 00.54.40 to see this particular part. Watch the whole thing over the weekend. It's worth it!


Oh yeah. Courney Love is somehwere in this thing as well (musician cameo 4).

#182 Das Oath Part Two

As promised: Part Two of the Das Oath Discography. The band that I, Marcel Alexander Wiebenga, was playing drums for from 2000 to 2007.
Part One can be found right here.

What we have here is the band's first full length album that came out in 2004 on Dim Mak Records. I feel that this is the best thing we've recorded.
The record features the song Awesome Rape, which was the closest thing we had to a hit. Awesome Rape eventually ended up on the Tony Hawk Underground II soundtrack. Selling out to a skateboarding game moving 3 million plus units proved very lucrative making every band member 150 dollars... yeyeah!

The writing process for this record was quite intense. Since band members came from two sides of the Atlantic, we were forced to work super fast, practicing, writing and touring Holland, Belgium, Germany and England in 7 weeks. We were playing shows on weekends, practicing two times a day during the rest of the week and finally recording for one week straight in the end.

Dim Mak records, is the super duper popular label ran by the super duper popular Steve Aoki. Who is mainly known for being a horrible DJ these days. I however like to refer to him as: "the biggest douche I've ever encountered". Up to this date he screwed the band on every form of royalties.
Seriously Steve, if you read this, and sooner or later you will when you google your own name twice a day you , you're a prick (with a really hot sister)!

Having said that. Download the record here. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

#154 Das Oath Part One

I've been posting all these records here at Blog010110. From the Perfect Series to various Beatles tribute Compilations and records by the worst singers ever. Therefore, dear reader, I think it's high time I started giving away some recordings I've been on myself. Here you go: Part one of what will be the complete Das Oath discography.

Who? Yes! Das Oath. Between 2000 and 2007 I played in a band called Das Oath. We were loud, fast, louder and faster. It was me on drums, Jeroen Vrijhoef on guitar, Nate Wilson on bass and a Mark McCoy on vocals. We must have played around 500 shows in that time. Shows all over the US of A and Europe and we even made it to Japan for a 10-day tour. Pretty crazy especially if you take into account that we were from opposites sites of the Atlantic ocean. Me and Jeroen living in tulipy Holland and both Mark and Nate in New York.

The first release is our first discography. Yes we were so incredible awesome that after three years, before even releasing a regular full length album, we released a discography album with all of our vinyl only releases. It has our first 7" "Transatlantic Thrash Terror", our follow up 9" called "Körperkultur", some compilation stuff (with amongst others a pretty sweet rape attempt of Queen's "We're The Champions") and a split 7" with our Japanese friends Total Fury.
