- About Me
- Ok, I come to this purely for the pungent nostalgia. A gang of us reunited in September , more or less serendipitously, on the hot beach in Michigan City. Over twenty years, christ. Bloomington 1982-86. Lasting friends..Gabe. Jennie. Michael. Tommy. Leath, Luke, and their counterparts. And Mindy, we're still together. Two girls, fast approaching the age where they look like us then. Anyway, in Bloomington I was on the periphery of anything amplified. Made posters for whatever Gabe was doing (Kissed & Skeletons, Mumblestrum) and argued a lot, and got trashed at Second Story. There was a stint as a DJ on the university station ("London Calling" but no one really answered; the free vinyl was a lifethread to "home") but mainly i did my bit for the hairspray industry.

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…
Ha! I knew it.
I'm not crazy about Michael Jackson or modern-day indie rock, but I will sing the SHIT out of some prime Manilow.
Burd, you nailed me.
I write the songs that make the whole wooooorld siiiing....
ahhhh Bullet Lavolta,their 1st 12" almost bordered on being the new Jerry`s Kids !!! Then they hit the UK with the Lemonheads & they both fell away.....those were the days lol
What gets me is people forget that punk/hardcore was NOT a private party…
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…
John I will indeed buy you a drink but you will first have to drive the van of screaming kids northward!
