I highly recommend popping with coconut oil ~ get a real pure taste. Vegetable oil? May as well be using hexane...

Why not just use butter?

It's your heart attack...

“There were literally hundreds of studies published in dozens of the most respected scientific and medical journals.  What I learned was absolutely amazing.  I found out that coconut oil is one of the most remarkable health foods available.  I felt as if I had rediscovered an ancient health food that the world had almost forgotten about.  I also learned why coconut oil has been maligned and misunderstood.”

You will not hear Alex Jones ranting about the secret war on coconuts on Joe Rogan any time soon which makes the conspiracy even deeper...

Misheard Joy Division lyrics, "the in the out..."
still a good song for sexing someone's mum...

At least I realize the ultimate pointlessness, the self-wankery of posting on a BBS without video embedding, and I embrace it with the most positive attitude of, at a bare minimum, 'hey check this out'...*
I mean, sure, feel free to shit the bed some more, and please illuminate us all to the shortcomings of Obnox compared to Bill Stenson's stale farts saved in a jar since 1987...Try to keep the "reeks of hipster" comments down to a minimum and maybe they'll go lighter on ya!

* well a saving grace, looking for something else, I found this, which I somehow have missed out on completely, but again, hey check this out

Ever/Never has some excellent albums and not to butt-kiss but the Richard Papiercuts lp would probably make a top 10 2010s albums if I ever deigned to do that shit...Who knows, maybe this thread will bring Barrister Loy out of retirement...

Live Skull is putting out their second record after reforming although it mixes old with new and features a Peel sesh with Thalia, which is when the band came into their own for me - looks like mr. every peel session on YT doesn't have it, so I look forward to that although the new stuff hasn't really grabbed me so much.

I imagine a lot of people consider LS also-rans in the LES scuzz sweepstakes but I find solace even in Band of Susans, Dustdevils, UT...hell, I had to suck a dutch guy's nuts once to get a CDR of that Black Snakes album!

...
From the Culture is Still Dead (Don't worry I'm soaking in it also) file:
Bob Mould has a 8 LPs or 24 that's TWENTY-FOUR CDs
Warning: this dude likes the cover design! I love Bob but it looks terrible...I understand the connection to late 80s graphics but ffs...lovely colored vinyl especially for Copper Blue.  Oh my heart goes out to the poor delivery personnel in the US but I'd buy it...

And The Boys have a five-album box set out on Cherry Red but it is just the third and fourth records on Safari records with that Yobs record, rarities and BBC live etc. Not so essential although I am sure the booklet is nice...Cherry Red has an interesting range of reissues from Ratt to the Outcasts! Oh, I forgot they put out the last Fall album!

Huh, don't recall that. Total Control actually played Saigon in Nov. last year but I didn't want to talk to the band before the gig and they were outta there pretty fast afterwards ~ Wonder what Mikey thinks? (I'm sure Soriano scorched the book here somewhere...)

Ok enough threadjack > apologies < but hey Black Flag/SST helped invent HC and then came Paper Bag...the end...

DX? I know Rollins reprinted it but who knows how influential it was post-90s (?) Does anyone ever fuck with Meltzer's treatise anymore? I am like that old HC song, out of touch......with the world....

Springa killed it.

...but he brought it back when he formed Springa's Sonic Droogs- the REAL SSD

Got it!

SOD is punk
SSD is super-punk
Springa's Sonic Droogs are hmmmm...well...not bad all things considered, so...NPR punk!

‘Rock and the Pop Narcotic’ is pompous, unreadable drivel written by an out of touch old crank that is bogged down by its dated sexism and homophobia. Anything with a synthesizer doesn’t rock, new wavers are faggots, Penelope Houston is a passable singer for a girl, etc. The book is an overrated waste of time that just perpetuates a lot of mainstream rockist notions from the 70’s and tries to apply them to the underground. Might as well have just called it ‘Kill a Disco Dancer For Rock’n’Roll’.

I haven’t read McPheeters’ new book yet, but always enjoyed his columns. He at least has a sense of humor. Which is more than I can say for Cardouchey. The Born Against vs. Sick Of It All prank from WNYU is gold.

Is it overrated? Everyone seems to hate it...SST was obviously quite the men's club ~ I forget what Mould wrote about Nig Heist et. al. in his bio. I do agree that Carducci's focus is limited but his takes on the pop industry vs. "rock" really resonated with me.

I remember reading Sam McPheeter's columns I guess, all those dudes kinda blurred together beyond Mykel Board...This review makes his book sound kinda pointless:

In a note that appears in his essay about the Reno band 7 Seconds — but which has nothing to do with 7 Seconds — he writes, “Recently someone asked me if I thought hardcore had failed. It was such a bizarre question I didn’t quite know how to respond. How can an artistic genre fail? It’s like asking if a painting needs new batteries.”

Did 7 Seconds fail to become U2 Two? What if their bass player had actually joined Metallica?
We all have questions...

McPheeters’ kitchen-sink approach owes something to Joe Carducci, who after working at SST Records from 1981 to 1986 went on to write arresting screeds such as “Rock and the Pop Narcotic,” which use the platform to address an encyclopedic array of topics.

Say wot? I probably love that book much more than folk around here but you can't deny that RatPN is a pretty well-focused book and answers the question, "What rocks?" according to the author...

I heard that song for the first time literally a few days before you posted that back in the day, and I swear I had the thought, "some contempo band should really record a cover of that..." And *bam* you post your version...I am not saying I am psychic, but you might be...

I have, upon reflection, reflected upon my actions and their reflections, and they are not pretty so I promise I will do my utmost from acting like a trolly jackass...

Like user: IQ32 once said, after kinda sloughing off post-85 HC, "...but I don't own the music so if the kids are happy..." I have checked modern-day HC out way more recently or this decade (haha) than in the past and for 90s stuff, I guess it's Poison Idea influenced stuff like Forward ~ actually saw Warhead last year in a park in Osaka, or the Death Side/Paintbox stuff that I tend to jam. I do boring computer work and around 3 PM, I need to get my head boppin and the blood a -flowin...

I moved to an extremely rural prefecture in Japan in 1997 (until 2000) and ran into the tiny HC scene there, although there was and still is a punk/HC bar (a tiny counter bar called a "Snack" in Japanese) called "Liberate". I went to some all-day punk festival with some "big-city" HC bands like The Humpty Dumpty within the first year or so but I was most stoked to see Murder Style - not HC in any sense but Williamson guitar damage with sexy tattooed S&M queen on vocals. There was an all female three-piece HC band from that prefecture who looked more like hippy farm girls ~I'll have to search for their name but I am pretty sure they are still going.

(I guess at some point Liberate moved to a bigger place and became a pub:

THE HUMPTY DUMPTY 'Death To Appearances' 7" 1995
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbWypHZPLyI


From 2000, I lived in Hiroshima, which had a pretty strong HC scene thanks to the Misery Record shop owned by Guy of Gudon and his lovely wife. Anyone have the Gudon flexi??
https://www.discogs.com/Gudon-%E6%AE%8B%E5%BF%8D%E8%81%96%E8%80%85/release/2991896
I guess Guy concentrated on getting his shop going in the '90s, but I saw his 2000s band many times.

Since I grew up in San Diego, I saw Battalion of Saints  a lot and they seem to be massively popular among Japanese punkers, so we always have something to spark conversation...

Chinese Japanese Dirty Knees

NWOBHM
Nice  playlist but starting with this nice double shot of Badger and Baseline
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFPZ7pou3NQ&list=PLxiVnlbKMrtbBmpwQ4-g-u7f29lm7-sfA&index=9
That Baseline is great regular dude boogie metal ~ sure don't look the part and the chorus goes sweet pop more like Cheap Trick really...
B side is even more hard power pop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ej1N3NZkv3U&feature=emb_logo

and some new Nels Cline for a hoppy stoney cyberiad pm...
https://www.nelscline.com/

Been really digging Cline a lot lately. I think he definitely incorporates Sharrock probably better than anyone these days outside of some scandi dude* but Cline can still bring it pretty hard and peeling, reaching for Mahavishnu at times (?) ~ need to dig more...
