Yeah I’d jump on that I think.

This is good timing ronz because word just got out that Wire is finally playing in the Netherlands again. Not exactly punk anymore, but I love their latest album.

I didn’t know there is a documentary about the Bad Brains. I don’t think it was released.

It is kind of sad to see HR’s mental state. I’m mean he’s all about love but he just seems off.

He is one of the most brilliant singers of all time.

I just watched this. Good docu. Nice thriving scene in South Central and East LA.

Copped this at Dodo Beach in Berlin. Sick record.

Saw LAMF last night - Mike Ness, Glen Matlock, Clem Burke, and Walter Lure (some of you might recognize those names from their old bands) - doing a Johnny Thunders tribute.

Spent the whole show in the pit pretty much. This came on and I was howling along.

For my elmos

Going to see the new UUUU project tonight. Not really punk, but it’s like half of Wire
joined by Tim Lewis from Coil. Should be pretty good.

Watch this:

I know Exene’s voice (female co-singer) isn’t everyone’s cup but holy fucking shit, the players in the band - especially the drummer and lead guitarist - were INSANELY talented musicians. Super inspiring to watch them casually play 6 different instruments virtuosically and drop crazy 3/4 polyrhythms and shit and then play such a minimalist, raw sound. God damn. Might have to bust out the old cassette of “Los Angeles” again now.
