Farts are funny. Even Hitler's farts.
Especially Hitler's farts.
He was just gassy.
There's an obvious joke in there...
Edit: yeah, so much for that.
I still have not looked into workout routines, so i'm doing my weird and stupid one again. But any little bit helps, right? (I know every little bit does not help)

So belatedly:
Warp Records

I have a copy of that on CD. I had to import that shit, it is rare (or at least it was back in the day when I bought it). I should probably rip it to MP3.
21st four weeks from now:
the ramones, the descendents, the sex pistols and the clash (before they got too political) were exactly about diy music that was fun to see at a show and didn't take itself too seriously. these are probably the first actual punk bands if you're not, like, someone who insists on richard hell/ television/ etc
the next wave of punk - dk, suicidal tendencies, bad brains, etc, got really political and angry and angsty and whatever - they have their place - but it's not like this is the only legit punk music. i really don't care for this era of punk. IMO, the best thing that came out of punk in the 80s were the arty alt-rock post-punk like the talking heads and elvis costello and the pogues.
so then you have the 90s pop-punk stuff that is just kids making fun music and not taking themselves too seriously - just like the ramones and early clash - and suddenly they're considered not "real punk"?! it's ridiculous.
i'm not even sure i'd consider the velvet underground legit "punk" - though i like them a lot. they were an art-rock band bankrolled by andy warhol.
i do like the specials. really i think i like the early ska because it hadn't really settled into a distinct formula. one of my friends got super into ska in the 90s - he'd wear clothes with checkerboards on them and blast ska in his car all day every day - and it all kind of ran together to me.
I really liked Weezer before Beverly Hills, and that was their biggest selling album and I feel like they've been much more hit or miss since. o_O

I could see a sketch there. Hitler there directing the war, making high level SS members lean in closer while he rips these horrible farts that they are trying to ignore.
But wait, there's a sign in the shape of a cow.... I guess maybe Texas??
DAMN YOU AUSTRALIA!!
Art of Rebellion is a fabulous album, but I wouldn't call it punk. It's closer to thrash or some other variant of metal. I have to be careful here or I'll accidentally summon the heshers to the thread and they have opinions about subgenres...
High post tend to go unread for good reasons.
Mostly if you are not high listening to people who are high is the most annoying thing ever.
Both bands have put out some amazing music, but I hate to listen to their full discography on shuffle.

Of course the pop punk is what lead me to real punk which then some how lead to weird Irish punk/pirate music.
Sounds like something a poser in denial would say.

But mine was really good.
no crazy hair or leather jackets, no political message, no tough guy attitude
just some nerdy guys singing songs about wanting to get laid and being punk as fuck while doing it
yeah maybe. i guess i can see either way with suicidal tendencies. i guess i really only listened to their early stuff and it had a real punk sound to it.
they ended up going in more of a metal direction i guess
Especially weird ones
Like just one calf at a time
I skimmed it last night.
Was not as good as you are leading people to believe.
eh i mean i agree, but i still think it's interesting to talk about the music and the history of the genre
Sorry gooey but his sources check out
yeah for real
though to be fair the buzzcocks really only had that one album
still a great album
but i know all the words to that descendents song "all"
It was good enough that I want to talk about it.
I've got that soundtrack kicking around somewhere...on cassette.
so very very old
Also, since I was just a kid during the 90's and throughout high school in the early 2000s my taste in music was still pretty shitty. That aside, I'm sick of the shitting on anything anyone else likes. You know, most of Blink 182 I can't really listen to anymore, but I LOVE 'Dammit' and still consider it one of my favorite songs. Same goes for most of RHCP and Sublime. I won't actively listen to it, but if i go to a bar and someone is playing a cover of Santeria, i'm going to fucking sing a long and love the hell out of it.
Also No Doubt, just because of Spider Webs.
I approve
But... I don't own a tape deck any more.
