emo..whats that? we don't know
This new website of yours, i'm having trouble making the swtich between the old site to this artsy one. I really enjoyed the last website. With its harder, rougher, and tougher design and its all around vibe was more hardcore and meaningful, in the hXc/rebellion sense. I'm just wondering why the change? Was it influence by something outside of the band? (record label?)
When I first saw this new site it looked just like any other emo-esque website and you were never such in my eyes.

matt-
personally i want a website with graphics of all of us floor punching and shit............that would be way cooler.....i say fuck art too...........but the management decided that we needed to appeal to more people..............i think the management sucks................................honestly though---no outside influence ..they just like insects with blue background is all.....
thanks for the concern---
rev. rakus
keep the faith-and by the way there is no management...........

thanks for giving us a choice-
sermon-for whatever it's worth we keep moving foward in order to look back and forget-we crave for something that we'll never know-but know this--we know what we need-we might not show it, but we've decided to organize our efforts unto some goal. we, as a people will come out on top-learn from our mistakes..and make it through. we will take oppurtunity, and regret-we will take drunkeness and sober moments, we will destroy what commands us to destroy others........yet we can stop what destroys us......so this makes no sense..i'm loaded...may be look for faith in the sports section of the inquirer.
your rev. rakus-happy thanks day.....

rookie---the true meaning-
dear rakus
somedays ago i read the book "trainspotting" while listening to the greatest hardcore-album of the millenium so far (aka after the eulogy).
while reading suddenly a theory blobbed into my mind: rookie is a song about heroin. i mean i never knew what the song was about, but then it was all clear to me. "give me poison dressed like live..." jeez, that's it.
is my theory right? if not tell me what the song is all about. it's one of my favourite songs, and i hate singing it, without knowing what it's about.
thanx a lot, Andy
andy....to be honest- i don't know what the fuck Rookie is about. i've heard that song about three billion times-and it amazes me that the kids at shows know the lyrics way better than me.........but-in all honesty i'm not sure what it is really about...or who it is about..we joke about it sometimes...but i never really brought it up......i guess you could ask the guys and they would tell ya......be safe and keep listening......the new album is pretty good-rocking it right now.......................just tell them to play "empire" live cause they won't do it for me.......................

i wouldn't think that it's about heroin........ but i also drink beer at 9 in the morning

i never post anything meaningful or on time-
yes...dear souls----our sermon has begun....we drink in a van on pilgrimage to pittsburg, pa. under these highway lights we destroy bud cans----then start a new with another---there is always hope once something is gone-and we can always crack another 12 ounce. whatever----that made little sense...maybe someday you will understand the language of the church. so today we rolled through snowstorm from hell and made it out alive and into the safe territory of pennsylvania under the flag of this blacklodge church........so lets just give praise for that....no real point here..but i don't care -do you.
rakus------i like straight girls-......
nov 20th------we are home from tour, and it was fun----if you can't understand that..you never will.......rakus

our home..the net
I have been anticipating the new site for some time and am completely satisfied, although I can only truly enjoy it's contents at school where the university has wonderfully invested in some hardcore internet speed. because we couldn't have young minds wasting away on dial-up. I've loved BSF since the early days, almost a decade or so ago when I saw them perorm in an old church in smithfield Utah, why would any one ever play a show in smithfield? but thankyou, and we did enjoy some tacobell with Nathan and Darrell on the grass. I'm just writing to invite you back to SLC soon. It's been too long, since snapcase's last shows, hope to see you soon, I pray the lord my soul to take, Amen.
Eric Fluckiger
eric-we love internet as much as the next man........believe me--they should be doing a hell of a lot of touring in the spring leading into the summer-----so if you really want us to come install as much wireless hubs as you can in SLC....that'll bring us quicker than a liquor store..well almost.........seriously...build the wireless network and we will come..
rakus---
you are saved in my book
damn ..darrel..that was a while ago..

names of things i don't understand
Yo,
I emailed you about guest listing for the Starland Ballroom show a few
days ago - thank you for forwarding my email! I have one more quick
question: what was the name of that oen new song that the band played?
Not "Requiem", but something about fire, or communication? I could be
completely wrong, so if you could let me know what the name of that song
was, it would be great. I am writing up a review which will totally sing
the praises of the band's set and new songs for punknews.org, so I will
let you know when that goes up.
Thanks a lot!
Dan
dan-yeah---it's called "Final Communique"..thanks for the kind review......it was a fun show regardless of everything..........................you owe me a beer for fowarding your email...kidding---or am I...
chris rakus-------
did i spell communique right+...fuck it...drinking time-

starland and exceptional people..
chris (and BSF),
I really just wanted to say thank you for making that show so personal by letting my and my buddy tim hang with you guys for a little bit. I don't know if the younger crowd there was ready for what was said, screamed, and sung from the lungs of nate or from mine and tim's as we sung each line along with the band... but i do hope the message was spread.
Either way i wanted to thank BSF for the past 10 some-odd years of music that has really kept me going. Both Tim and I really had a great time and you guys put on one hell of a performace (as always)... next time we def gotta hit a bar after and shoot the shit...
Good luck on tour guys and we will keep in touch.
Thanks again for making the music, and for making us feel so welcome
Always,
-Gary (the big dude)
PS chris, thanks for taking so much shit from us... by the end of the night we were raggin on you like we grew up with you... thanks for a fun fuckin' night... (hope you got laid by SOMEbody)!!
peace.
gary-first off-you're welcome for everything-yeah a lot of shit has been said positive and negative-personally..i believe that the positive thoughts mean more to the kids.but i won't talk trash here--it's a church. we had a lot of fun anyways hanging with you guys and everyone else....thanks for the drinks----and everything else...i didn't get laid, but should have...what the fuck...catch you guys soon..---sorry i called you a big motherfucker------but you're fucking really big.good thing you like us.
be safe-rev. rakus-

before i have to kill every beer.
yes-so our sermon from the road has come to life-like the times of old. We have found new life in the bars of the world, kelly clarkson and the like. todays sermon focuses on the curse of the loader........as we all know jesus took pity on the loader-gave him a place to stay-washed his feet in wine. but today's loader is completly fucked- we are"weighted" down and oppressed by our peers....who we wont mention. We call ourselves techs-but fuck that.....we carry boxes, leave carpets in florida and do shuttle runs. But the loader enjoys his work and goes forth with pleasure in his deeds-he does not bitch-he loves-well- loves beer and the ladies....don't pity us-----we go forth into a brand new brave world-so give us a box with wheels and we'll fucking move that motherfucker...........rev rakus----sorry so short my dear churh-but i don't care -fuck you all.
