crass were just a bunch of art students who couldn't play SHIT... "hardcore"...??? you mean D.O.A....??? they coined the term... what about M.D.C....??? or the Vancouver "SubHUMANS"...??? Or the "FEEDERZ"...??? "D.O.A."...??? and NEGATIVE APROACH kicks ASS... just listening to them tonight... Miret is a cool cat... he gets an "A" in my book... "Let Them Eat Jellybeans" was the best comp ever, hands down.... and FLIPPER still rules, ok...???

[ QUOTE ] yeah - crass sucks. what were you doing in '77? i don't mean that to be shitty... [/ QUOTE ] in '77? i dropped out of high school, started workin' with bands, 'THE NUNS', among others in the s.f. bay area, skateboarded, got my first car... the rest is kind of a blur oh, somewhere in that year, + or -, i heard my first CRASS record. it was nothing like what i was hearing in the 'frisco area. so, maybe i should say they are a sentimental favorite.now, what were you doing in '77? also, PLAN9 mentioned 'STATFORD MERCANARIES' i never saw CRASS play but it was cool to see STEVE IGNORANT play with them, and GARY DIRT,too. nic
A band I miss.... is the gears.... I was also listening to my doggy style album the other day... loved those guys... I saw Social D the other night... brought back some memories.
I am going to a Black Flag reunion tonight. I only saw them with Henry, so it might be interesting. Although I think Dez is the only singer going to be there. Hope Chuck is their on bass.

The Black flag show is at the Hollywood Palladium tonite and tomorrow. It is a benifit for cats. I guess Greg is a big cat lover. No hurry on the motor info, it sure would look good in my truck though.
My wife gets that Cat Fancy magazine and she was telling me that there was a big article in it about Black Flag and him loving cats. hmmmmm FANCY!
oh, yeah I know that. I was never a big fan of them anyways.. Just thought it was funny they were touring again.
As far as Oi goes, one of my faves is The Last Resort. Had Roi pearce on vocals who also did great work with the 4 skins. Also Menance and cock sparrer were it.

speaking of Punk Rock, anyone ever hear of a band called Gray Matter?? They had one album that was real good. I dont remember the name of it off the top of my head, it had a song about a caffine fix, anyways I have it on Cd believe it or not, but lost my vinal copy along with all my other vinal. Just wondering where I could get it..
Gray Matter - what an amazing band. Their final album Thog was pure genius. I can't believe no one has even mentioned Reagan Youth. Or the Descendents for that matter.
no one mentioned it cause theres to many bands to mention... reagan youth is like a good shit, with your favorite rag after a night of drinking...
"Punks dead your next".... I dig ....Slapshot... SLAYER, Poison idea, TURBONEGRO, Doggy Style, The FACTION, MCRAD, DRI, The ACCUSED, DI,, impulse manslaughter, Gang Green, FEAR, CIRCLE JERKS, AGNOSTIC FRONT, ETC>>>>>> But lights out by the A/S...is the best song ever written...... LUKESTER
going through some of my moosik, may or may not have heard of these bands, good shit the strike peter and the test tube babies - oral anie FANG (friends uncles band from the gay area) bobby sox and the teenage queers - hate in the 805 pathetix rudimentary peni (you want gutter punk, here ya go champ) blitz - warriors ...kick ass song newton neurotics the menace FX (havent been able to find much from these guys, 70s UK punk) alternative TV (excellant shit) Ejected government issue Xray specs Klips got buttloads of mp3's.. want any of this shit, gimme a holler
GRAY MATTER was on dischord records in the late eighties.... believe I saw them on tour with fugazi, around 87. MENACE fucking ruled.. for sure.... BUT man, what about the ANGELIC UPSTARTS doing all the RAD slow FOLK styled shit, about the DOCKS, and the STRIKES and the ENGLISH.. THE SMOKING POPES.... a really good Oi! styled band is GOING to be the TEMPLARS from NEW YORK city.......... or the REDUCERS from san francisco//........ and the BEST NEW WAY+VE song ever WRITTEN is going to "I GOT YOUR NUMBER" by COCK SPARRER
COCK SPARRER droogs don't run If you're in any trouble you know we'll be right there We don't take no shit from no one, we'll fight 'em anywhere So remember who your friends are if you wanna keep breathing air Your droogie is your brother, someone you can trust We gotta stick together, this town belongs to us
The Disasters rule. They're playing down here soon. I saw CRASS play back in the day. Lemme tell you that I think I their politics and everything they stood for was, and has been proven historicaly, to be a pile of shit. But live they were an amazingly intense experience. In fact the place was in danger of having the ceiling collapse, no lie. The only 4Skins I liked were the disco 4Skins from NYC in 1980, that was some grooving shit. I really Wire and The Fall.
Ditto on both Angelic Upstarts, Wire and The Fall. I saw Wire only a year or so ago here in Oslo. They were almost better with todays guitarbased industrysound, than back when as a punk band. I think that show was really a huge positive surprise. EXPLOITED just played here in Oslo a couple of weeks a go. I didnt go. Lost whatever interest for them I had I guess. Same with Crass. I have hower bought tickets to Blondie in october...
