Where's Two Buck Turk?
Latest Activity
Visit any college town here in the Northeast (except New Haven, sadly) and you'll find at least one record store. Amherst, Northampton, Cambridge (many!), Princeton, Saratoga Springs. Most are great for vinyl as well.
I'm not an audiophile. My stereo sucks. It's the vinyl I love.
But, I hear what you're saying. Case in point: I thiught earlier this week that I had finally tracked down the elusive JJ Burnel solo LP "Euroman Cometh." Turns out it didn't happen so I said "Fuck it" and found it online and downloaded it in 10 m...
Vinyl...in the attic? Good God man.
Nice sentiments Steve, pay no mind to the haters. Also, love the name check on the Sanford-Townsend band! Only you could make that leap.
Steve: He was the only person in the world with a larger fan base than you. Looks like you're #1 now.
Wow, this is one of the first shows at the No Bar if I am not mistaken, also, I had no idea Breaking Circus played the No Bar. Thanks, these are great.

The Pogues on the Rum Sodomy and the Lash tour! Fuck, what a show! None of my lame ass friends liked the Pogues, so I drove 10 hours round trip, by myself from B-ton. I'm so glad I went! My face hurt from smiling the whole way home!

Other people I know have said the same thing. I guess I'm going to have to go back and listen some more.

- Hi Steve, good to hear from you. Hope you're well, kicking ass and all that.
Yeah, I've listened to Fucked Up a bit. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about them. The vocals are a little too much of that macho, tough guy kind of stuff that I don't like so much. Musically, not bad at all.
I think my use for Hardcore is displaced at this point. It just doesn't speak to me, really. I'm just, like most, in a different place now. I still listen to Bad Brains, or Black Flag or Circle Jerks occasionally, but, as for this latter-day idea of hardcore...It strikes me as a bit of a dead horse being flogged. I think there needs to be a new cultural youth upheaval. Don't you?
I still like aggressive music, just without the macho posturing and testosterone pulsing boys club shit.
Check these guys out.

- Yeah, I miss it too. But I don't miss the smell of coco-tatters. And the more I think about it, the more I think it was laoch lips than catfish lips.

- can't say we were scared of Dave, Jr. but we were all well aware that he and all the rest of his band were waay more punk than we were.
No, No
You guys were more punkier than us

Still hoping my brother and his family make it up for the inauguration. Not looking good for families with kids, though.
