Day 13: A song from the 00s

The Gonads were always a joke band. Gary Bushell (who coined the term Oi! For street punk w a tougher edge), he also created a sub genre called punk pathetique (think the Toy Dolls or Peter and the Test Tube Babies).

Street punk came back in a big way in the mid/late 2000s and when I got out of the army, it was perfect timing.

Day 13 - A song from the 00s

Okay. So now we are getting to throwbacks that make me feel old. I bring you a daft punk song with a video from June 2007. I was still in high school x.X Despite being double the age I was when this came out, I am aging like an expensive cheese. You just have to flake the crust off to enjoy the perfection.

(Daft Hands) Harder, better, faster, stronger- Daft Punk

 
Day 14 - A song from the 10s

2019 marks the year that my musical tastes shifted in a weird direction. I have always listened to a variety of artists, but... I mean. Did you hear this song 😩 it is so good.

My most played song from 2019

Day 14: A song from the 10s

Going to NYC back in the day was an adventure. Being in NYC was an adventure too. Bus to port authority, or train to Penn station, then the 1 down to Houston street (pronounced HOW-ston) to the Bowery.

Agnostic Front was one of the first US skinhead bands. Everyone equated skins with nazis back then, but if you were in the know they were totally regular guys and not racist in any way and in fact quite the opposite. Street punk and hardcore were more fitting terms. They were just rough as hell and so were their friends and fans!

Going To NYC was always a bit of a role of the dice back then. CBGBs would have hardcore matinee every Sunday afternoon for (usually) five bucks and three bands. Saw some absolutely stupid shows there, most memorable was Stisism, Youth of Today and Agnostic Front on the same bill. $6, cash.
That was either 1984 or 85. I was a junior in HS.

It was good to see them the other night. My friends, Dave, and Rob (both RIP) are both in this video. A throwback to the good ol bad ol daze youth crew days of the 80s. 😂 Now everyone lives in Queens, the island or Jersey. No working class people can afford to live in NYC anymore. This is their ode to old NY.

It wasn’t always good. 😃
