In a nice little tribute, Aesop Rock throws some love to SF and Cali punks loving the Zeros and the Germs. I never liked the Germs, but there's a link below for fairness.
Anyway, listening to this song the past week and loving it. This verse might be the weakest of the first three, but not bad if you're into hip hop more than punk. And really, didn't one become the other in its current form? I'm not sure that this doesn't belong in the hip hop thread, but I already posted it there. I love the "learned curve" part that ####s, IMO, on algorithmic rock.
[Verse 3]
Somebody in a cultivated moment of resolve
Composed themselves enough to publicize the Zeros in this stall
They was scoping every dog and pony previously scrawled
With a festering hate for the gum drop edge
‘Disco sucks’ tee, punk‘s not dead
But a transient teen unsung godsend
Via 3 bar chords and a mugshot grin
(Cheese!)
Sign of a runaway tone in the face of authority, thumbing its nose
Cutting its teeth
Pretzled up in special order vinyl, and
Birds that dip their belts in little metal porcupine quills
2 dutch at a show in the front, low-key to the can
For a smoke and a ####, Trixie, fixing her lipstick up
When his mitts got bit by the mischief bug
Snatch
Capital “zed”, terrible “e” in vermillion red
Gimme an “RO” and a slippery “s”
Over a web of the ####tiest bands
That beat your heart out
Never bleeped your favorite parts out from a learned curve
Of bird fingers bursting out of germs burns
Urgently
Offered through the circuits of an earlier plot
I’ll see you at the bottom ZZZ top
Wild Weekend
Lexicon Devil
