| Laughing Hyenas | What Tomorrow Brings | Merry Go Round | This is tame by Laughing Hyena standards, but still a fine song. Long ago, when one of the greatest joys I was able to reap from liking the weirdo music was scaring a pretty girl in my homeroom class, the works of the Laughing Hyenas figured more prominently in my day-to-day schedule. These days, it's more of a nostalgia thing but I am still consistently impressed that John Brannon has any functioning vocal chords left. Listen to the song "Gabriel" on one of my other archives and you'll see what I mean. | 0:00:00 Pop-up) | |
| Bob Mould | Black Sheets of Rain | Black Sheets of Rain | Give it up for being 19 years old and depressed! I haven't listened to this record (or Bob's other good solo record, "Workbook") in about a million years and I can't necessarily decide how well they have aged, but for whatever it's worth, I'm still proud to own these records. Before all the sissy emo bands came around, this is what punks listened to after busting up with their girl/boyfriends. | 0:04:22 Pop-up) | |

| The Who | Eminence Front | It's Hard | I had to go to the basement to retrieve this record (don't worry, I re-filed it in the main library) but I was damn happy to play it. Recorded so many years after most people would say the Who stopped being good, but an incredible song in its' own right. | 0:16:38 Pop-up) | |

| Violent Femmes | Black Girls | Hallowed Ground | My copy of this record stolen from my first punk friend's older brother, who also drove me to my first punk rock concert (The Ramones at City Gardens, 1986.) This song was also a favorite of high school friend Amy Valatka, who in 1989 I had planned to ask to the prom, but chickened out on doing so because another friend told me that doing so would be "a bad idea," whatever that meant. Subsequently, neither myself or Amy went to the prom and I still consider this a minor tragedy of my teenaged experience. | 0:42:11 Pop-up) | |

| The Humpers | You Give Good Headache | Journey to the Centre of your Wallet | Yes, they TOTALLY sound like La Peste on this track. I just never realized it until today. Anyone besides me try to see the Humpers when they came to NYC in... '95, was it? You may or may not recall that they were a VERY big deal at the time, though I have never seen any band's hype fizzle as quickly. So much for California's Flipside darlings, eh? They were booked at the Continental (never my favorite place to see shows) along with the Trick Babys, Electric Frankenstein, the Candy Snatchers, and about a zillion other bands. Overpriced beer, cesspools in the bathrooms, and a no re-entry policy... And you wonder why I don't go to shows anymore? It was 3 AM before the Humpers took the stage and they were by that time so utterly plastered, the set proved completely worthless. Vox man Scott Drake would spit out a verse, climb up on the mic stand like Julian Cope used to do in his latter-day videos, and then fall into the crowd while the band tried to keep it together. I think they played 4 songs (or tried to, anyway) before Continental management pulled the plug on 'em. The fact that I never got to properly experience the firepower this band was alleged to have dished out is one of my saddest regrets of the latter 20th Century. Right up there with that whole high school prom fiasco (see above.) | 2:48:48 Pop-up) | |
