That's very good! So maybe I more mean that if a band doesn't develop then it's hard to sustain interest? But also I don't think Clash records sound very punk as they develop? More sort of ska?

Must be infuriating for Trump to know no matter what he does, what he says, what whines about he's never, ever going to get close to the level Obama operates at.

Yeah that's what I'm listening to now. I'm in no way qualified to rate hip hop but his delivery seems exceptional.

Love it.

Currently working on this. its at the ugly sketch stage atm hoping to work on it tomorrow!

Only ever run into Kayne West in his weird phase but now having listened to two of his albums clear he is/was extremely talented.

I was never that much of a fan and lost interest when they discontinued Dead Pony Club. It's hard to see who they think their market is now though.

Yep I'm there.

The problem with pure punk rock is part of the point is being bad at music. So while it's initially arresting, once the shock wears off its nothing you want to spend a lot of time with.*

*Bands like the Clash aren't really punk because they have songs with actual tunes.

I was never that into them and lost all interest after they quietly discontinued Dead Pony Club.
