3 days prior to that, college aged me & my waste length dirty blonde surfer hair was trippin’ balls at Rich Stadium Orchard Park ringing in in 4th of July with two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. China Cat Sunflower in fucking deed…

Definitely a contrast from the late 80’s….. pretty sure there were less than 10 girls in the room back then at a Fugazi show

This club we used to play at in the late 80s early 90s, Unisound, the only girls there were girlfriends of the dudes in the band and girls who wanted to become girlfriends of dudes in the bands. Total cockfest otherwise. But loud and awesome for a young teen!

Culturally(music & film) I miss the 70’s & 90’s more. 70’s stuff was raw & edgy as hell ( Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, punk rock, 70’s folk) 80’s stuff got glossy and waaaaay overproduced (Top Gun, blockbusters, made for MTV music, spandex metal) The 90’s stuff was made by the 80’s teens who longed for that 70’s rawness, so it got really good again for a bit before everything went super glossy again.

Lots of good stuff out now, too. This is on the new album from Lizzie No that drops today. Also looking forward to the new Sleater-Kinney, Last Dance Party and J Macsis records that are coming out soon.

True there is a lot of good stuff now it’s just more of a dig to find. All the traditional outlets (radio, tv) are crap for music now. I listen online to a Manchester, Vermont station WEXQ that plays good new stuff.

This guy is king of the <2 minute lo-fi song.

I'll have to check that one out. My indie go-to is WXPN in Philly, but I'll also listen to KEXP in Seattle or KUTX in Austin. If I'm in a really weird place, I'll put on WFMU in Jersey City. They will play anything. Commercial radio got so boring. For those who want to hear Taylor Swift every hour on the hour or love bro country, it's all good, but it's not for me. FFS, if I heard No Rain from Blind Melon one more time on the alleged "alternative" station, I wasn't going to be responsible for my actions.

Sleater-Kinney's new album came out today.
