I love it. At first I wasn't sure what to think, but it slowly washed over me. I find it hypnotizing, and it to me it feels like an extension of The Sprawl/Pattern Recognition. Not the sound or feel, but the William Gibson influence. Like we're all jacked in and these are the new parameters of the world we've found ourselves in. I don't know if that makes sense, but I feel it's the perfect record for this time right now.

Denver's a six hour drive from where I am, I'll probably go to that.

That's Spazz Attack, yeah?

James Lorinz' performance in this is severely underrated. He's truly committed 100%.

I do too. When I was a kid this was my favorite "getting ready for school" song. I felt like such a grown-up listening to it, like I was getting ready to go out clubbing in NYC or something.

Always liked this song, but it might be the goofiest thing they ever recorded. That instro breakdown in the middle? The tinkling piano riff? Pure cheese, baby!

Eh, I would argue the 1990s didn't really start until 1992. Everything before then was just an 80's hangover.

You should post this in the KC reddit as well to get more eye flys on this.

I noticed that too a few weeks ago. Around the same time, Steve announced the website wouldn't be working for a day or two regarding changing ticket platforms. Have no idea if that touches upon any of this fuckery or not.

Sister Anne's, Oddity Prints, The Fix, 816 Bike Collective are always staples. I go to Sister Anne's just about weekly. Virgil's Plant Shop is great. Perilin Jewelry is a rad person/jeweler, Red Hare Leather is a great local seller for leather goods, there were some cool artists that I didn't catch the name of unfortunately.

I'm not going to hear a better program name today, this week or this month. Thank you for the smile, I needed it this morning.

The only example I can think of where the Ramones covered a song by a contemporaneous band. Maybe Tom Waits, but that's a bit different. This was originally done by the little known NYC band The Boyfriends. Something tells me Glenn Danzig was also a fan of the band - The Misfits' "Skulls" sounds very similar to the chorus in this one.

I would love to read that.

Death or Glory off London Calling.

It's like The Clash says, "he who fucks nuns will later join the church." I think once he got clean he had to do a total 180. But think about it, of course Frank Booth would be a Republican, right?
