Senior Smackie...I don't know you, but how did you end up in my teenage tapedeck?
You'll be pleased to know that my 17 year old nephew came to visit this week and showed up in a 7 Seconds t-shirt and played a Stiff Little Fingers based mix he had created for the car ride. It was a 58 song master piece and all faith was restored in the future of punk.
youth is often wasted on the young, but there is some hope out there
I will say, you used to have to work a lot harder to get and find good original music
I remember finding this entire universe that was off the map for 98% of the people who said they 'liked music'
and for me...that was a big part of the fun of being into music in the early 80's and into the 90's
I didn't really see a ton of club shows until the 90's, which I'll always regret
As I know living in NY, I really missed a billion good shows during my tenure
now everything is there immediately
all singles/b-sides/live shows/websites by and about the band
just make it all have less value IMHO
now get off my lawn and I'm keeping this baseball you whipper snappers
