Modern Vespa

Some solid new punk pop:
Entire record is quality kung fu.

Pretty good Birdsnest. Punk Pop is good for you.

Indeed. Makes ya chest hairs grow!

An Indonesian punk rock band committed to scooters.

IceFuckinT! doing a take on the Suicidal T's signature piece.

Second verse was pretty damn funny...
Caution... language is 100% NSFW

Loved that album in college.

australia day today so listening to jjj hottest 100



http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hottest100/14/

thanks tangles,

that went down nicely after another stinking hot day, goes nicely with an ice cold redback too. happy dayzz

Redback...Yuck Can't drink wheat beer.

Like that one too Birdsnest. They sound like a Daptone band.

This... after all the talk about Elvis the other day... massive album!

One of my favorite choruses of all time:

1. I like that my musical tastes have recently met with Aussie approval

2. Vader... That is some quintessential 80's west coast pop if I ever heard it. Where are they from?


My entry for the day is surely a repost, but still makes me smile for miles. Great song, horribly campy video:

You'd think so.. but nope.. they're from CAAAANADA!

It totally sounds like they'd be from LA.

My daughter has discovered punk-pop so I've been trying to introduce her to the classics and precursor bands.

Never saw the video for Punk Rawk Show before, but it's got some some good vintage scooters in it, so I figured that was worth a post.

"My daughter has discovered punk-pop so I've been trying to introduce her to the classics and precursor bands"

Chandler , it sounds like you have a cool daughter. Congrats. I'm sure she's heard ALL?

Perhaps surprisingly, ALL is new to me, but they're good stuff for sure.

Last night was pretty heavy on the Blink182 family tree. Starting from the Aquabats
Bonus version: 3 high school kids' acoustic cover of Superrad played on Huntington Beach Pier
Good stuff like Man Overboard & All the Small Things, too
Then, some Box Car Racer

Good Charlotte & SR-71 because they came up in suggestions. She laughed her ass off at SR-71's fashion.

And some Save Ferris because she asked about bands with women in them and all the Riot Grrl stuff was a little too old skool for her tastes.

Young girl...
Pop punk....

I'd go Me first and the Gimme Gimmes. Cover songs she'll know will get her hooked.

Then the Get Up Kids.

After my time, but Taking Back Sunday was big with the ladies.

All the bands my high school girlfriend liked.

I know she's heard Get Up Kids and Me First & the Gimme Gimme's. There's some of them on an old iPod of mine she found somewhere. I'll probably wheel out the Less Than Jake & Streetlight Manifesto, too.

I need to play her some old No Doubt, too, for strong women, even if I loathe the whole Hollaback stage of Gwen Stefani's career.

She's already a fairly accomplished guitarist, even if she hasn't learned to play with others yet. Sadly, she inherited her singing voice from me, so even with vocal lessons, there's going to be an upper limit there.

And she wants a scooter too. What a cool kid

I may have to take on a smallie project because she literally can't start the VBB--she can stand on the kickstart lever without it moving--and the Stella has electric start, but it's just too big for her.

I think being in Evanston (my buddy lives there too) you're obligated to take her to a Screeching Weasel show.

The look at the end reminds me of my gf coming into the garage. You know... the "wtf are you doing in here" look.

It was a great song even before Bowie got to it.

I love Junior Brown. I used to see him back in the early 90's in Austin when he had a standing gig at the Continental Club.

We're seeing Kacey Musgraves up in Milwaukee in a couple of weeks. We saw her here in Chicago a few months ago and got to meet her before the show. Despite having 50 people or so to meet & get pictures taken, she took the time to talk to my daughter for a few minutes and gave her a big hug. Totally cool chick. We got right down on the center of the rail for the stage, too, so I got to spend the entire show fighting to hold that space.

Good Times.

the business by madness ..... its a singles n rare shit with interviews inbetween n its fucking bang on ...... takes me back to 85 when i went to see em for me 1st gig

One of the best bands I have ever seen. Their gig in Perth in 1981 was brilliant. At the end of the Absolutely tour and they just blew the place away.

Jr.'s a hoot, seen him a couple of times at the Belly Up ... good show. His wife Tammy Rae plays a mean acoustic.

Since we took a turn onto dirt and country roads... you can't miss with a little Holly G and Dave signing about "end times". 8)

I was very very young but fascinated but the strange sound...

Nice, new Body Count? I had no idea. I saw those dudes in Long Beach a few years back. Ice T rules.

I dig T too.. mostly because he's all "kill the cops" then plays one on TV! no kidding.. and he doesn't take himself too seriously in real life.. and his wife! Oh man.. there's one hell of a whopper of a booty tank for ya! She does seem nice though!

Too curvy for a Rally...
Definitely not a Lambretta...
Not a widebody either....

Maybe a GS? [/b]

Looks like a modern with all that plastic.

I loved Ice T's music in high school. One of my favorite Ice T moments was when he went on Oprah with Tipper Gore and they talked censorship and the PMRC. Jello Biafra was also on the show. It was awesome.

That's a good one sd. And the people who they are making out are scum are the ones with the well thought out well spoken arguments

Exactly. One thing that always impressed me about Ice T is that when you listen to him speak, there's no doubt that he's an incredibly bright guy. And yes, the rhymes are often a bit childish, and he certainly likes his women. But he always stressed mind power in his songs. He's not just some guy who can rap. Jello Biafra's no slouch either .

this just came on the radio. memories of 9th and 10th grade, when most everyone else was wearing metallica and van halen shirts.

the few who knew about and listened to other stuff back then were immediately "weird"
