No chance a band that looks like that in 1989 isn’t awesome. And they were.

Zine ads were the best. So vital to discovering things.

Remembering when bands like Saigon Kick were hyped as being the next big thing after glam metal. They weren’t wrong. Should’ve been.

Also don’t be cursed with your lone hit being the least inspired song you recorded. They were so much more

A week of crazy life stuff led me up the mountain to Kingman and Shady Grove Records (highly recommend if you are rolling down rt. 40)

Long long time want acquired. A U.S. Raven meets Motörhead. Right where I live

An album that is impossible to sit still while listening. Rocky George on this.

Somehow my OG cassette has survived all these years. For me, the only way to play it. This thing has seen some times

One of “my bands” from back in the day. The dual guitars were “too metal” for my skater/punk friends. “Too punk” for the metal crowd. Just right for me.

Somehow never got to see them live. No idea how that didn’t happen

Love new discoveries. Always be discovering

Cheapie bin find

Damage - Jubilee O Kindness (1987)

A little new wave, some skate punk, a post punk sound lingering, a ska number. All thrown together. It completely works.

This is terrible news. RIP. Years back I won a contest he had (on his blog? maybe) asking for crazy music inspired ambitions. My submission was the many failed attempts to have a hightop fade (ala Big Daddy Kane) with the long hair in the back. A mullet fade! This led to a several year……...

I’d argue the opposite of the hype blurb. But still a good listen. It’s the MC5. Jams are kicked out

The thing that drew me to Last Crack initially was the fact the music press had no idea how to classify them.

I’m not sure the band being called Last Crack with an ass crack on the cover helped things

Three years later and the right push this would’ve been FNM big IMO

Hard to find an album so full of youthful yearning as Hang Time. The writing and delivery just pour worth the angst. In a good way

It’s quite possible I’ve actually done that with these albums...

Metallica - Kill’em All
Eric B & Rakim - Follow The Leader
Suicidal Tendencies - Join The Army
The Connells - Fun & Games
Raven - All For One
Nitzer Ebb - Showtime

If someone put $1,000,000 on the table and said you had to listen to one album on repeat for 48 hours straight…
what album are you risking your sanity for?

So it has now passed 32 years since the only time I ever was on a guest list *story in ALT

Archers Of Loaf “Icky Mettle” is in my top five #AltRock albums of the #90s …. Maybe even ever

#Nowplaying #CDs #MusicSky
Archers Of Loaf album Icky Mettle is pictured So I deejayed at my college station. I played everything - and as such labels just started dealing directly with me on promos and such. Alias records were endlessly sending me packages because I pushed/played their artists. One night they called to say they were putting me on the guest list for the AoL at the Black Cat down in DC. I was going through a bad breakup and thought a solo night out might do some good. Of course never having been to the Black Cat I got lost. Once I got there and had zero issues getting in (trying not to be a dick about it), I saw a killer show. Great album, great live. Never big on Polvo though. As I was leaving the security guy stops me and tells me someone is calling out looking for me. I got to do an interview/meetup with the band. I only ever had two questions - “Top ten Desert Island discs?” and “What are you currently loving?” Our school paper was in a dispute with the administration over funding and content, so basically the only thing allowed to be published was harmless features. The editor was a friend and asked me to contribute. Enter Brian, the music editor and sole person allowed to write about music apparently. We were cool. And he was a great source for discovering things. But damn did he flip out over my piece about my Archers experience. I mean lost his shit and wanted to fight me. It was hysterical. He refused to ever speak or acknowledge me after. Several years later I ran into him at a record show and he still refused my hand or to speak to me. It was awesome. Anyway, that was my "music journalist on a guest list" life. 32 years and a million life times ago. Remembering is fun. Archers of Loaf still rule. The Black Cat was a fun venue. All the best to Brian. And apologies if you read all that nostalgia Ad for Archers Of Loaf show at the Black Cat
