SPUDD!

Here's a couple tracks from our old high school band, Spudd. The extra D is for debutante. The first one, "Mall Wenches", is short and sweet, just like them. The "Get the Bait Medley" starts out fine, but then proceeds down 10 Mile Creek, and finally empties out into the Maumee river. Enjoy.

Minutemen

Their prolific double album, "Double Nickels on the Dime" turns 25 this month. This record was my anthem in high school. I never saw them live; I did see "fIREHOSE", the band Mike Watt formed after D. Boon died, at the Southgate house in 1989. Here is a huge thread from BoingBoing:

I also stumbled upon this user on youtube, who is uploading all SST stuff. SST was the label that Greg Ginn (Black Flag) founded, and my youth was spent listening to Hüsker Dü, Black Flag, and the Minutemen. I learned to play bass by figuring out the bass lines on these albums. Also, I am old.

Automan

Laura Branigan guest stars in an episode of Automan...this was pretty typical entertainment back in the day, if I recall.
