Skate and enjoy! ROCKSTEADY

See previous episode for circumstances. This starts off with The Peacocks, from CH. "no sex baby, I'd rather have breakfast" is a great lyric, and there is "It's ok, we've all seen better days!" Johnny Thunder is up next. He was with the Dead Boys in NYC when the earth was young. ALL BY MYSELF. Jonny Manak and the Depressives remind me of Johnny Thunder a bit. They are from San Jose. Jonny skates. Dead Boys! "I'm just a dead boy. All this and more, little girl. How about on the floor, little girl? I'll die for you if you want me too." Sucks that Stiv Bator got run over in NYC. Next, we move across the Atlantic to London circa 1978 with the Adverts. LOOKING THROUGH GARY GILMORE'S EYES Song about someone getting eye transplants from an executed serial murder. Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad in Utah in the mid 1970's Six thousand miles west and 10 years later we have Bad Religion. In the night. 15 years and a thousand miles north--didn't know this was about geography, huh! The Briefs from Seattle. I'm Poor and I'm Wierd. Bored Teenagers by The Adverts. The lyrics are spot on. with emotional rages bored out of our heads bored out of our minds London 1977. It isn't the Sex Pistols. These guys were playing in the same scene though. THE VIBRATORS with automatic lover. I saw them once at the Blank Club in SJ in 2004-ish. They were great and drove away in a mini-van. She's the kind of thing I was warned about by my mother Run for cover, run for cover I don't need anyone don't need no mom and dad don't even need you too sonic reducer ain't no loser I don't type fast enough... I watch them from my room they're just passing by I'm not just anyone I got my time machine My electronic dreams sonic reducer sonic reducer Then I'll be 10 feet tall and you'll be nothing at all That is the Dead Boys flailing away with SONIC REDUCER. Just tremendous from beginning to end. Next are LeftOver Crack come to us from New Jersey some time in the past decade or so. AND WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE, I SMOKE THE CRACK AND SHOOT THE DOPE. It isn't my way out, but it is damn powerful. There is some killer bass in this song and I love the strangled vocal noises. Makes you want to pick up a brick and throw it. Much lighter, but still great. Punk Rock Girls by THE QUEERS. It is really bubble gum punk, but I love it. Yummy yummy punk rock girls, I wish they all were punk rock girls. I saw the twice and both shows were great. The one at Bottom of the Hill in 2006 was epic. The Manges and The Methadones opened. They played a Screetching Weasels song, Cindy's on Methadone that I never thought I would hear live. The Clash. He don't like his boring job now. Fill it up Jacko. Janie Jones was a famous London madam/prostitute. More Queers. Kicked out of the Weebeloes! Daddy beat me with a hose I punched her in her snotty nose I guess that's the way it goes That's all. I typed this as the podcast was playing so if it is wrong, or lousy, well... Blow me! Miles 12/17/2008 11:20 PM
