Well here we have two new released from different sides of the spectrum. Of course we all now Fang...Berkeley hardcore band back and playing again. And then we have Bob Mould, ex Husker Du, and Sugar on the more 'mersh side of things. Firstly, let's talk about the Fang album...this is fantastic. More on cue with Skinheads smoke dope, Berkeley Heathen Scum...Fun With Acid...that's right...back to the old days. This is real good go and get it. Next up we have Bob Mould...errrrmmmmmm Never been much of a fan of Bob's solo stuff. I love Husker Du and Sugar, but his solo stuff really never did much for me. Well this is a nice return to form for Mr. Mould..so much so, that this sounds like Sugar. This is fantastic!!!!! Please check out both of these releases as they are both awesome!

Does Anyone The Price Table Of Uncles??

Does anyone have this? I was going to play this Ep this morning and I noticed that I have lost it. Errrrrrrrr I tried looking around and it seems no one has posted it. Also if you have their one and only single by them I would be quite happy. The Price were a great band!

Tony Sly...NUFAN

Sad news yesterday as the news of Tony Sly has been reported that he passed on. To gain an idea of what this means to me, let me let you know....I am from San Jose..No Use For A Name are too. They cut their teeth at Gilman but were from my hometown. It was the same time that I was cutting my teeht too...I am friends with Rory Koff who has ALWAYS been a fantastic, upfront, great guy and drummer of NUFAN . San Jose is the 10th largest city in the USA...but we are a small town...thankfully (though I live near Santa Cruz now). We take care of our own and appreciate one an other regardless of WHO you are...ie Smashmouth and whatever bands.....we have a chip on our shoulder....thanks SF!......When I heard the news that Tony had passed on, it really struck me. 41 years old man......41 years old. Wow. Drugs??? Nope...family guy and way to smart for that BS...many of my friends are in shock right now. Me too. I never was a big fan of their Bad Religion style punk musings, but I have to admit two things. Soul Mate. One....That song was SOOOOOOO catchy...I still adore it to this day. And secondly, they are from my hometown, and I...or we have ALWAYS supported them regardless. I feel bad for his family and I feel bad for some of my friends, as I know how a loss like this can overcome you. Tony was a great musician and apparently a good husband and dad. The second part of that sentence makes me more sad than the the musical part. I hope that when I pass to the other side that I get 1/1000 of the outporing of grief/respect that he has gotten....truly a great guy. I have not seen San Jo' this bummed for a musician since Scotty Vollmer...and that is no way a dis on Scotty...just an observation. RIP Tony....You will missed.
