  by Jenny August 7, 2008
  It's making me delete some music files that I may've wanted to listen to a bit more,but then again, I think you can only listen to a Screamers live show bootleg only once (avaliable here: http://commercialzone.blogspot.com/2007/09/screamers-in-better-world-2001.html) I mean, it's awesome,but like th...

• X's Wild Gift

  by Jenny August 4, 2008
  So I've been on a 70s L.A. punk kick lately and discovered that my favorite of X's first three albums is Wild Gift. Oh, Los Angeles is a classic, don't get me wrong,but something about this album makes it so damn good and I dunno what. Maybe it's because it captures the gritty urban environment they...

  Dear God, I'm frantic over the recent happenings among the Dead Kennedys: First, the current singer guy leaves over a row about the band's future and according to him, they hired another singer behind his back: http://www.punknews.org/article/28168 And the little comment from David Cruz doesn't hel...

• A Tom Waits Condumdrum

  by Jenny June 17, 2008
  Okay, so I downloaded and listened to a bit of Tom Waits' storytellers and though I loved the way he talks and very much enjoy his sense of humor, I just cannot get past his singing voice.
