Man I just read the news. The Cramps were one those bands who got me through my teen years good memories. I think A Date With Elvis was my favorite but all their stuff rocked and still does. Thanks Lux!

Music better with age. Others not so much.

I have liked the clash since I was 12. My son loves the self titled first album. Siouxsie is on my list of bands that I have not stopped listened too. She is my daughter's favorite.Both my kids like The Jam. Years down the road I will have to see if the straight edge,hardcore and oi bands I liked in 90s have aged well.

Bands that I never gave up on:
The Clash
The Jam
Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Damned
Dead Can Dance
English Beat
The Selecter
English Dogs
Motorhead
Bad Brains
Johnny Cash
Al Gr… Continue

The Great Rock and Roll Swindle

All right whoever saw or had the VHS dub of The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, the one with Korean subtitles raise your hands. At least I think they were Korean my memory of it and knowledge of asian languages is not so good. And to whom ever had the original copy Thanks

Tri North and the punk rock queer freaks.

I met KC Fick in late 7th grade got me into the dead kennedys . He gave me a beat up copy of plastic surgery disasters.To this day its still one of my favorite punk records. At tri north we were quite a crew. Josh Martin,Noah Lucas,David Pagano KC Fick. It seems we were always posturing and getting into pissing contests.I used argue with David about the clash. He took the view that they were not punk enough. I wonder even now how could anyone think that.I was into music almost older that me the… Continue

I don't know how Stephanie is doing. I lost track of her years ago, but yes it is her.

Hey there! How are you? I am in touch with Mo and neither of us has found David. He seems to have vanished. I think he will turn up at some point. It is so weird to read th Tri North comment on your blog, because I know all those guys and was probably there with you and your posturing. I was the one rolling my eyes : )

Andy, yeah, I know what you're saying...the Lemonheads then instantly faded into multi-platinum obscurity. That's such a great perspective when most people have no idea the band even existed pre-1992. If anyone bothering to read this hasn't heard t…

Burd, I would never accuse you of being shy about speaking your mind. And I doubt anyone would have thought me anything but a raging snob from way back. And with the anti-Manilow snobbery of the post below, we continue to have plenty in common. FTR:…

John, it didn't seem like good natured to me when I went back and looked. It reeked of pretentious snobbery. Haughtiness. The funny thing is; I'd probably step up and say something if someone was doing it to you. Incidently, there are all sorts of t…
