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!

Hell yeah, you lived w/John on Wilkie South 9 in '89/'90.
I lived at the other end of the hall in moronville.
You were the only guys on the floor I ever talked to about anything interesting (i.e. music.) Because you're the only guys who's CD collections involved more than just Steve Miller band's greatest hits. :)
I always tell the story about how YOU GUYS MET THE PIXIES in Nov. '89 - and I was invited to come with you after the show but chose instead to hang out with my girlfriend at the time (remember Gretchen?) Missed opportunity - yet I still sometimes tell the story on your behalf.
I'll have to update my picture one of these days - it's from high school and i find the hair amusing though I should be perfectly embarrassed by it.
Nice to hear from you Mike. Thanks in retrospect for introducing me to many great bands, Wire Train for ex.
Looking forward to your visage on the 8th. Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing you in August. YAY!
