I will forever associate Fugazi with my sixteenth birthday when I had just bought myself their first EP on cassette and popped it in the car stereo and drove away legally on my own for the first time blasting WAITING ROOM. To me that song means enjoying the freedom that comes with a drivers license.

There really isn't a bigger litmus test beyond Naked Raygun for if you like the genre at all. But if 13 songs, Pink Flag, and Understand? don't tickle your pickle, you just don't dig the sub-genre.

I have no ego. What's cracking? Do you hate Steve Albini or something? Like I personally have dunked on Fugazi, a lot, because I'm not straight edge in the slightest and I don't know... but they're really good unfortunately.

Oh man, speaking of talking poo poo on people's idols.. Back in the before times when we could smoke indoors in theaters, Captain Sensible told a 15 year old me to quit smoking and I laughed in his face because I loving hated the damned. Every time I saw them, they played every goddamn song in their catalogue and made the ticket cost 20 dollars more than it should. I worked with a dude who would later become a friend of mine going to shows and whatnot who would be come appalled as he is the literal founder of their fan-club and runs their web site. Thank god he made me actually listen to Damned damned damned and machine gun etiquette or I would have thought he was insane. Completely the opposite of fugazi. Like punk, means "to poo poo on" more or less. Serious Party Gods posted:LOL - TBF, I love Naked Raygun "Understand" and loving Sunny Day Real Estate, so yeah.. it's a land of contrasts.

I saw Fugazi once and Guy was holding his stomach and looking half dead and maybe puked. He mumbled something about being sick but dude loving powered through it and they put on an amazing show. Also Ian stopped a song to berate some rear end in a top hat jock dude who was beating on people in the pit and the rear end in a top hat left. Superhero poo poo.

There are people out there that dont like Naked Raygun? How is that posible? Also, Fuggazi is a band I never could get into even though I dig their whole heavy emphasis on DIY and accessibility. Every album of theirs Ive listened to really does sound like it was recorded at a bus stop or some poo poo. I suppose thats a big part of why they are considered a band you need to see live.

Minneapolis' oldest punk, Bob Murderer, from the band "The Murderers". Right in the time/place pocket for me. The last time I saw this guy he was trying to sell a jean jacket that he was carrying in a paper bag. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfhAXC5N8Fg

Have we talked about Minutemen in a while? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2BtgmawhCw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbBeomD20n4 I love these guys. I know they are technically post-punk but finding out about their music is what first got me interested in punk and all the various adjacent genres of music. Theyre still one of my favorite bands. Considering how so many bands from that era toured Im surprised more musicians didnt die in motor vehicle accidents like happened to D Boon.

Such a shame. I know the singer of Rhino 39 died in a car wreck. And the singer of Butt Trumpet was killed by a drunk driver. And almost all of the band The Exploding Hearts died in a van crash on tour. And Exene's sister on the way to an X show. Certainly more I'm not thinking of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB0yGPQud_g

DEVO came up a couple pages ago and I want to make sure everyone has heard Ultracore. It's an unofficial fan comp of early poo poo that has some of their best rare tracks on it. Most notable IMO is "Do-Do", urgent power pop dripping with their usual sarcasm. Alan Myers is a loving monster on the drums here as usual, he's so underrated. If you're used to DEVO being a new-wave synth-heavy band this'll be especially interesting for you. Link below is timecoded for this track, but you should listen to this whole thing, there's some great unreleased stuff as well as demos of first-album cuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1tXTF_5keE&t=2040s

I also heard them when I first was getting into punk and it was everything I wanted to hear. There was a certain dissonance to their sound combined with tight rhythm that clicked with me, and the way they did short compositions instead of long songs was so satisfying. It was smart and creative and from the heart. Double Nickels On The Dime is a masterpiece. This one is my favorite. I think the lyrics are just a Mike Watt journal entry he wrote while watching Merv Griffin interview Sophia Loren on his show one night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyzjXCpRVwo Edit: George Hurley was my drumming hero in high school, and we might in fact be related.

Serious Party Gods posted:I don't know man, I guess it feels so premeditated and possibly .. boring? You're right, it's not bad - but it came at a time when everything was becoming quite toothless and I resent it. I'm not a huge fan of late-stage East Coast stuff or a "post-hardcore" guy so take it with a grain of salt. I get it. You and I are the caveman kind, we like our music to be straightforward, to hit you in the face with a sledgehammer, and Fugazi is too meandering and circumspect to really get us pumped. We're True Punks. Compared to all the punk and hardcore bands that started making garbage-tier heavy metal in their later careers, they're a pretty good band, though. I have to respect them both musically and in terms of attitude. I think if I'd been 16 in 1989 and bought 13 songs, I would have listened to it a lot and loved it.

I don't get how you can be completely on either end of the spectrum and not just get bored personally. That's why this loosely defined art form is cool because you have Bad Brains and Bad Seeds and it's all one thing but it's kind of not. I will never understand people who like only listen to Gorilla Biscuits and Ten Yard Fight and don't understand Pissed Jeans or Hot Snakes or whatever. It seems more like an aesthetic choice to "be into counter culture music" and it comes off as gross to me I guess is what I am saying. caleb fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Aug 2, 2020 |

I've never even heard of Pissed Jeans or Hot Snakes. I probably wouldn't be into them. If I get bored with Ten Yard Fight (which I don't think are all that fantastic to begin with, weird American sports band that sounds a bit generic) I'll listen to some Oi!, or power pop, or ska, or ska-punk, or post-punk, maybe a different genre altogether. As I said about ska earlier, in a post similar to yours, I will never understand people who like punk but are turned off as soon as it includes some upstrokes and/or horns. There's so much incredible ska-influenced stuff out there, spanning decades, and people reject it just because they don't like the typical third wave sound from 1996. The thing is that if a person doesn't like ska, or post-hardcore, or anything else, that's fine. Yes, you should try to move around in your spectrum of what you think is good music, but that spectrum is going to be different for everyone.

Early DEVO is so goddamn weird and awesome. They started (in some form) in, like, 1972. Way ahead of their time. When they got Alan Myers in the mid 70's though, that's when it came together. He was so underrated. He was a machine, but still had the groove, you know? Late 70's/ early 80's DEVO is untouchable. There is still nothing like it. Alan Myers and Bob 2, R.I.P. Speaking of the beat, I watched the new Go-Go's documentary last night, and highly recommend it.
