Yes!!!!!

Indeed!!!!

Ha.

I liked it a lot. 4 outta 5 Super Kick Parties

Ignore my typos and whatnot - I was a few hours out of foot surgery and on pain pills.

And I've hung out with him and the other rad folks in Spells a bunch (enough I would say im friends with all those folks too). My wife even got to play with them on stage on tambourine, on stage earlier this year in Chicago

Spells - Stayin In > Going Out.

How do you make friends with new people in your 40s? By records from their label. I started buying a ton from Snappy Numbers, and eventually started trading emails with Spells member and SLN owner Chuck Coffey. We eventually became good friends....

It was Jawbox's FYOSS. I was like "well OK dude. I wanna be cool". And it blew my mind. So rocking and so great! It's still in my top 10 of all time.

I would go in once a week or so and spend my McDonald's check on whatever. I knew Fugazi, but not much else in Dischord, so Jawbox wasn't on my radar.

I forget what I was buy....maybe Tool. But the dude behind the counter (a cool kid) is as like don't waste your money on that....buy this....

Jawbox - For Your Own Special Sweatheart. (1994)
I was and older brother and lived in podunk Danville, IN. My friends were getting into local hard-core bands and what not and it wasn't my scene.

There was a Karma Records in Avon IN where I thought some pretty cool kids worked.

Who was this band and where can I find their record. I searched at all the Indianapolis record stores and finally found a copy that fall at Coconut Records, across from Layfette Square Mall....tats, so many records and shows and even more awesome friends all made because of the power of RFTC

In a sea of bunch of tunes I really enjoy stood out two tracks- Otha Fish from Pharcyde and Ditch Digger from RFTC. The Pharcyde tape was easy to find and I played the shit out of it in my brown, 1988 Chevy Cavieir. But it was the Rocket track I was obsessed with.

#3 CMJ CD comp July 1993.

A whose who of mid 90s alt rock. I bought this issue at a makeshift bookstore at Lollapalooza 93. What was CMJ and it has a cool CD. This was the first time I had heard of it (a year latter the Kroger in Danville IN started carrying it and I bought every issue.

This tape fully bridge the gap from hair metal and local AOR radio to 1990s alt rock and punk for me. I was getting into more alternative music thanks to MTV and the third hour of headbangers ball and 120 minutes. But this record (and the events better F/U Angel Dust) threw the doors wide open

#2 Faith No More - The Real Thing. (1989).
I vividly remember coming home from school and my buddy Pete calling me and telling me to turn on MTV to see this video. Who was this band??
Why is there a fish flopping. Are they rap or heavy metal??

I really wanted Twisted Sister- Stay Hungry, but only got the I Wanna Rock 45.
There is a pic in a box, in the basement of me opening this record on Xmas morning. I haven't heard this record in years, but Method of Modern love is still a full on jam.

Mine:
Big Bam Boom - Hall and Oates (1984)
I asked for an entire haul of records that year for Xmas. So much so, the Santa that we wrote to in 2nd commented "you must really like music". I got a few, but mostly 45's...

Great show and way fun convo.

Me too. I was shocked when I saw them last night.

Hanger's a real one!

We were suppose to get a World Premiere from Britany Fox, but instead Def Leppard- Women. I'll Take it.

We must be approaching hour 3

Celtic Frost - Cherry Orchard.

Hope we get more trash and punk type stuff they always shoved in hour 3.

Cinderella- Last Mile

Great video selection on this episode. Cinderella, another band that made three great rock records back to back to back.

Tesla - Heaven's Trail (No Way Out)
Another killer song. First 3 Tesla records are all great rock records

Metallica- One
This video freaked the fuck out of me as a 12 year old. The movie footage is wild.

BBoys back to intro Europe - Let the good times rock....and rock they did because it's not here...we go right into Unchained from Van Halen

Guns N Roses - Paradise City. Remember living in a time that this song was new. We all were there.

World Premiere:
Queensryche - Eyes of a Stranger. I dig Mindcrime and Empire a lot.
Fun fact - that one time I randomly met Robert Pollard at a record store in Dayton, Queensryche was playing on the in-store stereo.

Bulletboys back....it's hour 2. So yeah.
