I had this sweet mid-90s Maximum Rocknroll Radio tape I was gonna post but my track listing didn't match the audio and I'm having a really gnarly week so I didn't feel like sorting out the edits and shit so....so I'm not posting it but it started with a BLINK 182 song that's pretty good (in context) and it just feels weird to type out those words but I listened again and it's true so I am determined to post that MRR show soon. In other news......
I went to see INNUENDO and NECRON 9 last week and they both ripped. Milwaukee punk rules period. The locals were fine, but the opener was a SoCal outfit called LAMICTAL and they also ripped. Singer runs a label called Popular Affliction and I stocked up on my way out of the gig (live shows are still the best place to buy records and tapes, straight up). Truth be told, I didn't pay too much attention and just traded $40 for a bunch of tapes I didn't know shit about because the band was good and the dude seemed chill and stoked. got a few hardcore and synth punk tapes.....but then I checked this motherfukkr out. I don't know the history and I don't really care because FUCK ME this shit is beyond beautiful and there's a dude in Southern California releasing hardcore slammers and melancholy '70s freak folk and where has this reality been all my life, you know? Check this shit:
"See You Later, I'm Gone"
"Heaven On The Beach With You"
"Nobody Wants Me"
"I'm Still In Love With You"
"Sunshine Only Sometimes"
"Slowly Sinking Ship"
"Lonely Lovers"
"She"
....yeah punk, this shit is real as fuuuuukk. I don't know what else to say and/or what other context to offer. I went to a punk show and dropped $5 on a previously unknown and currently essential collection of sounds from a different world.....the sounds are not punk, and I made the right choice. Will you make the right choice?
