Underdog: Say It to My Face
Saw these guys in 1986 or so at the Blue Pelican in Newport RI, and also at the Rocket in Providence. Maybe Lupos (the original) as well.
Get the fuck away from me,
I think i’m gonna be sick
I’m usually a pretty tolerant guy
But you’re such a fucking dick…
Two from Dag Nasty
Both of these songs by Dag Nasty, “One to Two” and “Circles, have been in my head non-stop and I can’t get ‘em out. This isn’t a bad thing by the way: both of these songs have aged really well, and they’re still relevant today.

There are things I’d like to say

Annihilate This Week!
For no particular reason other than it’s a great Black Flag song from a great movie. And for added fun, can you spot the Chili Pepper?

Thanks to Tim kelly for this one:
This is going to be one awesome documentary. The Bad Brains are one of the best, if not THE best hardcore bands I have ever seen in my entire life.
The bourgeoisie had better watch out for me. All throughout this so called nation, we don’t want your filthy [...]
Screaming for Change
When I heard Uniform Choice from Orange County California (probably sometime around 86 or 87), it rocked my world as hard as Minor Threat did. They had that same straight-edge sound I loved so much.
But today one of my favorite songs from that album, the title cut “Screaming for Change”, popped into my head again. [...]
“Skate and Annoy”
Slamming in the 1980s, no idea what show this was.
At the time there was this whole “skate and destroy” meme going around. I wanted to destroy plenty of things just as much as anyone else, but I never figured out what the two had in common.
Given how angry we made the cops, I thought “skate [...]
Portrait of the Artist With a Giant Mohawk
I’d put this photo at or about 1986. That’s my buddy Kellfire Bray in the beret (berets were cool in the 1980s). The reason the mohawk is so shiny is because I would obsessively apply the strongest Aqua-Net hairspray available (it came in the white can) over the course of the day: I [...]

While I was busy skateboarding and smoking cigarettes, Brian Boog was busy taking photos of us. I owe you one, Brian, I don’t have ANY pictures from my wasted youth.
That’s not an earring in my left ear, it’s a safety pin I jammed through the hole. No idea what I’m holding in my hand, probably [...]
