White Flag-Wild Kingdom


My favorite album of 1987 by a mile. Even the cd reissue is hard to find these days. This LA band has been at it for sometime since around 1980.

Dr. Feelgood-Malpractice Lp

Not exactly punk and not well known in N. America. What would Paul Weller have done early in his career if he did not have the influence of Wilko? Just listen to the In The City album and you will know what I am talking about. I have a love and not so much into relationship with Dr. Feelgood. I love their high octane pub rockers but when they get all bluesy on me it makes for some tough listening. BUT when they do fire on all cylinders....look out. Here is there second album for ya!

Dead Fingers Talk Storm The Reality Studios

Alright, here it is, and it's called...Dead Fingers Talk! Ummm I really don't know too much about them. I do that they are hard to find on the net. I think I remember seeing them in the movie Punk In London where they were in a transit van moving down to the Big Smoke. This was released in 1978 and I don't think it was to alot of fanfare. My cd has their singles on here and to be honest I like those better. This is for those that dig The Radio Stars (Longy??) or maybe they sound like The Only Ones to a degree, though I like The Only Ones much better. Anyways, don't let my opinions sway you one way or the other. Find out for yourselves. This was also posted on iskp, but since it is sooo hard to find, I thought that I would post it too.

Green Day Sweet Children Ep

Hi there folks. I have not been around lately due to work and a small vacation. I will make NO bones about it, I love Green Day! Maybe a tad too much at times. You see, I was part of the whole 924 Gilman St. thing back in the late 80's-the late '90's. I played there quite often in the bands I played in and I also saw some pretty damn cool bands. Heck, one of my bands spun off and had Lars joining Rancid after a show we did with them. Anyways, Green Day were awesome when they played in smaller clubs before they hit the big time. Here is there Sweet Children Ep from 1990. You see, Green Day were originally called Sweet Children, just check out the MRR comp. Turn It Around. There they appear as Sweet Children. This Ep is pretty had to find because it was not put out on Lookout but if I remember correctly it was a label either from Minnesota or Wisconsin. Well here it is.

Crime Hot Wire My Heart 7"

ok here we are with the "other" first SF punk band, Crime. This is their first single of the three that they did. Crime dressed up in SF police uniforms, had sirens on stage, and had one of the coolest looks around. They all had pompadoors and just looked plain wierd. Love them. This is for those that are into The Electric Eels, Dead Boys, Pagans and NY Dolls. Rough, raw rocknrol the way that it is supposed to be played. They have reformed and broken up many times over the years and to be honest, I have never seen them. One of the members went onto Crucifix if you believe that one! Anyways it gives me great pleasure to post this. If anyone wants me to post their other two singles and/or San Francisco's Doomed, let me know.

A Request To Angry!


I used to own The Asexuals "Dish" album back in the day. One day I sold the damn thing. I just was doing some work on my Asexuals catalogue and I saw the cover of the Dish album and allot of memories of that came flooding back. I need to hear this again. Sooooooo Angry???? Oh and some Vacant Lot too.
Oh and for all those that have left comments and words of encouragement, and help (Longy) thanks! We finally have this down and running. Obviously I cannot keep pulling out obscure San Francisco '77 era punk so I might stretch things to include 80's hardcore more as well as my first love, UK '77 era punk, and maybe some prime cuts from UK 82 stuff. Unlike Nation On Fire, I don't thieve. This will come out of my collection.

Today Is The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life part ll

Well here we have it. A new President in my country. Will it be meet the new boss same as the old boss. What this new President brings is hope. Hope for peace, hope for a new beginning, hope for life to get better. Let there be hope for all those that have lost their jobs, let there be hope for those that are losing their homes or are on the bubble of losing their homes. Let there be hope that our economy rebounds, and what I mean by that is not being greedy selfish bastards. I know Capitalism breeds this, but there is nothing wrong with having a kinder, gentler way of going about business. I could go on about my financial problems, but I'd rather dwell on the positive. Today is a wonderful day. Congratulations Barrack and good luck, for you have one of the most difficult jobs in one of the most difficult times in the history of The USA, and I do not envy that. Bye Bye Georgey Girl....piece of crap.
