It’s almost 30 years old. And this little punk gem knocked out by a gang of teenagers still rocks for me.

Your Phone’s Off the Hook - X

I listened to two (yes, two!) Drivin’ n’ Cryin’ albums today while doing yard work.

The Trash Can Sinatras - Obscurity Knocks

Love it.

Caroline Rose - Jeannie Becomes a Mom

The Fall’s “The Classical” as done by Pavement:

Luscious Jackson - Daughters of the Kaos

Bad Brains - At the Movies (Rock for Light version)

Don’t turn around (uh-oh!)

I could ramble on for awhile about why, but I’ve convinced myself that, even though it’s one of her most “pop” love songs, “Love Me or Leave Me” may be the most politically radical song ever recorded by anyone ever in any genre of music, and that’s mostly because of the playing.

Such a great band. I got to meet Ranking Roger once and he was the nicest guy in the world. I randomly ran into him and he was so happy that I recognized who he was, he was my best friend within a minute.

Pj Harvey. 4 track demos. Reeling. Came out in ‘92 maybe. It was a game changer for me. Hard to find at the time. No internet then.

Red Kross with Neurotica, from Neurotica

Thelonious Monster. Classic late 80s track. So what if I did.

Sonny Clark. Cool Struttin’

Glasgow new wavers Altered Images “Think That it Might.” These guys were the best.
