PUNK Music Draft - Now Ongoing post awesome punk songs thread (3 Viewers)

Throwing in a cover which I never even realized was a cover until it came into my head last night and I was pulling it up.

8.14 - Boss Hog - I'm Not Like Everybody Else (1995?)

This band was a short-lived project of Jon Spencer and his wife in the punk-blues genre.  I always like Jon Spencer and the way that he tried different stuff with a blues-y vibe.  This track was on the soundtrack for the movie Suburbia, which I was addicted to in high school/college, and has a great soundtrack overall.  The track is not on Spotify, sadly, as it doesn't seem to have been released anywhere else.

It is a cover of a Kinks song: 

which was also used beautifully at the end of Sopranos episode 5.10.

A great Kinks song. I have, because of simey, a Have A Cuppa Tea mug that I take my tea with. 

A fine band and that band had the album of my twenties, The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society. It was my favorite, stoned or sober.  

Nice pick, Baby Driver. (Jon Spencer was the lead song to an awesome soundtrack. Bell Bottoms. I saw him play in Heavy Trash in a small bar in New Haven, CT. They were good.)

I "saw" JSBX circa 1994.  saw them , In that I purchased a ticket and I was at the venue when they performed. 

sadly The pre-show festivities proved to be a little too much for me and I wound up taking a multihour snooze on a bench.  slap it high?

I knew very very little about this movie going into it -- then within 5 minutes we got a sweet car chase through my city where I'm picking out spots I know all while hearing almost an entire JSBX jam.   

NOTE TO SELF: I AM ENJOYING THIS MOVIE NOW

:lmao:

They played our school and he blatantly hit on a girl that we all knew, so I'd say yeah, sounds like Gronk. 

Albini was on Fore and it was great by this band. Was thinking about taking it.

He's certainly likely an interesting guy to talk to. Every time I hear him speak, his intelligence comes to the fore. 

Did you get a chance to talk with him at all?

Watt is awesome. I've bugged him a few different times. And only because the first time was so great. It was at his show right after Joey died. He sat at the bar stool next to me so I introduced myself. We talked Ramones for 20mins. Next time was a decade later on the other coast. I had to tell him how much his music has meant to me and how crazy it was watching him go through his health scare and how great it was that he's good now. It was after a missingmen or something of the elk type show and I was going to see him again a few days later with Banyan. I told him I was bummed he didn't play Little Johnny Jewel because I enjoyed his version so much last time I saw him. So he gets on stage a few nights later and goes "we're going to play one Perkins doesn't know it all, but he'll figure it out" and then hits "Little Johnny Jewel". He's so cool, Mike Watt.

Our birthdays are a couple days apart so I reied to his hootpage email list blast thing once happy birthday and he responded. We've traded a couple of those over the years. I've also sent him a link to a friend's band who was obsessed with him and he played my buddy's band on his radio internet hoot show thing back whenever.

Well, since there seems to be a love test with the Interrupters, I am going to take this now. This will be my only pick of a band I have not seen. But they play Irving Plaza in March. Maybe I take my kids to their first punk show.

Do it. So great live. She is amazing. Her rhyme structure and rhythm is one of my favorites of all time. And yeah, freaking adorable. 

 
I think this isn't the strongest in the covers category, but i love a cover song that takes an original and just simply makes it better. I am sure there are Johnny Cash fans in here, but i don't think it is for everybody. Going with a well written song, performed much better than it's original (in my opinion):

Johnny Cash - Man in Black    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY8_vZXo8oY

Great example of taking a very good song and making it better:

Bouncing Souls - Man in Black  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTeIHThlz7k

8.10  Pegboy - Strong Reaction

F--k yeah!

Pegboy's first release was an ep called Three Chord Monte. 89 or 90. Their first full length was around a year later, Strong Reaction. They were available on vinyl and cassette, but when they pressed the CDs, they combined the 2 releases into one album. This CD is the pinnacle of my own personal punk Mt. Olympus. I've never heard one I like more or that meant more to me. 

Glad you took this ACP, as now I'm freed up to choose another song or 2 by these guys.

 
So much Metro (venue in Chicago) footage in that Pegboy video. Love that place. Pains me to say that I havent been there in ages.

Saw them in Pittsburgh around that time.  At Graffiti.  Show was Barbed Wire Dolls, Blues Explosion, and Helmet.  We went to see Helmet, but left Blues Explosion fans.  They absolutely burned the joint down.

Larry Damore is the funniest human alive and John Haggerty is close.  

Occasionally one of those guys would show up to our poker game, donate piles of money, and crack everybody up.  Once, one of them may or may not have started behaving very oddly, taking a strange and sudden interest in the texture of the table’s felt, and when asked “dude what the #### is going on with you?” revealed that he may or may not have “accidentally dropped some acid”.  

Four people in this game went on to win WSOP bracelets and Larry Damore is not one of them.

I love Pegboy.

Just noticed that they’re playing Liar’s Club in early December. Might have to make that happen 

 
I moved to Chicago in 97, into my pal’s apartment above a bar called Club Foot on Augusta Avenue.  Walking in for the 1st time I saw 4 square-headed dudes in leather jackets drinking at the bar.  Said to the bartender  “those guys should start a band”.  The bartender rolled his eyes and walked away.  Then my roommate told me that three of them were in Pegboy, and the 4th was Jeff Pezatti of Naked Raygun.  The bartender was Chuck Uchida of No Empathy and The Defoiliants. 

 
Loving all of the Watt-spiels in here.  Was just listening to the Watt from Pedro cast where he talks to Bim of Obnox.  Bim has the same kind of stories about meeting Watt.

The show I saw was at Metropol. I haven't thought about the barbed wire dolls in a long, long time. 

Graffiti doesn't exist anymore.  That was a great club...saw so many shows there between '90 and 96.

 
we need more piss and vinegar for this draft, so i'll hop ahead for now (in true Punk style). From across the pond, but Crass held their own a bit. Little out there with some stuff, but another beaut under 2 minutes right to the point. 

Crass - Punk is Dead:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVkOzFU11iE

Always has to do with money grabbing, and marketing and promotion. "Steve Jones, you are napalm!"

Honestly, I never liked it.  Hated the thick-necked security #######s, hate how fuggin’ expensive it was, and hated Boche, the dip#### booking agent.  Of course, I still went to see The Jesus Lizard, but most of the shows that I was most juiced about at the time happened at Lounge Ax, The Fireside Bowl, and occasionally the Bottle or Congress Theater.  

Still saw some great shows there—Archers of Loaf, JSBX, Jesus Lizard.

Never lived in Chicago, but got to play there a bunch.  Always loved playing the Metro.  Felt like a big deal.  Played Fireside Bowl a few times too.  Cool place.  We also played the Double Door a couple times too, but didn't have as good a time there.

Double Door also blows.  (Blew.  I think it is no more.). Sounds great on the stage, but awful everywhere else.  And wherever you stand seems to be the wrong place.  

The sound at the Fireside was hideously blowed out where ever you were (it got better when Elliott  ##### put in a new PA) but that didn’t matter a bit if you were there to see Karp or the Spiveys or Los Crudos.

edit:  it’s funny the forum edits Elliott’s last name.  That’s the dude’s name!

Whenever I hear that "We had those all-ages hardcore matinee shows" line from that Hold Steady tune I think of Fireside Bowl.

 
I dont make it to many shows anymore since most of my time is spent coaching soccer, going to my daughters soccer and lacrosse games and my son seems to live in the ice rink skating 3-4 times a week. Had a 715am game today. That was super fun waking up at 515. 

Anyway, the most recent show I went to was in August at the Vans skate park in August. The skatepark is in Brooklyn and it is closing so they were having some going away shows for FREE. My bud and I get there early thinking we need to or we will not get in. We were wrong. we could have saved 2 hrs on line, although it was nice catching up. I was texting with my wife saying I dont understand. Everyone at the show was old. No young kids. 

Me: I dont get it, its all old people here

Her: you are old

Me: I get it, but its the best punk band ever

Her: maybe to you since you are old. The young kids werent even born when you were listening to these guys

Me:  :wall:

The mighty Sick of it All made it one heck of a show to come out of retirement to. 

8.14, Pennywise, Peaceful Day, Aug 2018, Vans Skate Park in Brooklyn

Oopsies!

I have to think I could have taken this one much later, but I also have not followed this thread this weekend, so here's one I'm sure was not picked...

07.xx Direct Hit! - Was It The Acid

This is one of my favorite bands of the last few years and I love how they do what they do. I prob could have picked about a dozen of their songs, but I thought of this one thanks to GBACP's post above.

ETA: I'm on mobile... and I've been drinking. Oopsies x2

At the risk of being ridiculed, Ill post this here for some laughs. I have only been playing for a little over a year and this was recorded in August. First song I was able to play while sing at the same time. It's a lot harder than it looks. 

I mess up a bunch, but thats punk rock isnt it. Here is an acoustic Pennywise cover. I can deal with the taunts, er, constructive criticism

Yeah, man, do it. You'd be my favorite teacher ever. Ms. Siegel used to play us Feelin' Groovy and I still remember her and still love that song. Keep doing it, friend. Keep posting.
