Pansie Division is fun, but a bit much for me. King Missile is pretty cool.
I'm drawing a blank. I shall return...

I play trumpet. When I was a kid, someone had me give this guy a ride from San Francisco. I picked him up at his apartment, and have no recollection of it. I just know that I had no idea who he was. Little did I know he was one of the greats. Me, a little white boy. Haha.

If you don't like to drink or do drugs, fine, but that self righteous shit is ridiculous. A lot of those kids break the edge once they turn 21. What's so punk rock about doing exactly what your parents and the government want you to?

I am a fan of KXLU, WMBR, and others.
It's nice to get great music from those who are hipper than me.
I just started listening to WHRB. They've got something called the Record Hospital that's quite good.

I can't put names and music together unless I really work at it.
I'm really into punk more than anything. I've got thousands of hours of cassettes from years back.
This is a pretty cool video. Colors...And music.

the first two full length albums are great. i didn't like the third as much.
punk will always be my foundation but i like music in all genres. even dance music has some good stuff, if i allow my brain to be unprejudiced.

earlier that day he phones me and was reading me a list of upcoming concerts that had just been announced. "yes" is coming and we both started howling - we're not big on prog/art rock, with a few exceptions.

exactly what bloat-rock didn't need in 1976 was some clammy puppet blowing down a 7+ minute flute solo while dressed like he just got booted out of sargeant pepper's clown college.
