Is it really not obvious to just pick up MRR once in awhile?
Just go buy everything K-Town related, then everything non-Fucked Up on Deranged, pick up every other Deadbeat release, pick up the non-emo releases on No Idea, then go start a band that channels UK '78 and So Cal '82 and yer set. That's at least 25-30 records a year.
Really, don't pay any attention to SSR. Ever since he was on the cover of MRR, he's been so over punk rock because he had climbed the scene ladder as high as anyone can go. That's why he listens to all this fagatronic Z-Gun krap now.
Krap which is all I listened to when I was 14. I hated hardcore in 1983-4, ewwwww!
