Need to be doing other stuff, but I’ll make this quick.
happy jack – 3stars, memories of a one off band thing as a teen and we played My Generation in my buddie’s garage
Kokomo – 2stars, catchy song, but the breath of the BB’s output is so more amazing, the 70s stuff
HEHFU – 0stars, never heard of em, hate the name
Model rockets, 1star, bad name, too much like Bottle rockets
The Shaggs, 1star, overhyped by hipsters
Explosions 4star, never heard of em, maybe I have, benefit of the doubt
Textones, 3 stars, name again,,
Young fresh 2stars, overhyped, but I roll with it
gazeteers – 4 stars – “recipes on an open flame” I like singing along
Tullycraft – 3 stars, bittersweet ending to my tenure, didn’t play on this song aside from the Moog synth at the end
The Gay 5stars great Name
Dressy bessy 2 stars – Fun live band to an extent, not fan of records
Ramones – 2 stars, not much of ever a fan, but my brother liked em and Helen Love digs it
Apples – 1star yuck, occasionally, when I free myself from prejudice, I might like this band
Eno- 3stars never listen to him, he’s all over the place
Grand total = 2 and a 1/2 stars.
So Jack, like your Pizza fans, I give you a compliment.
Jack, why don’t you stretch yourself as a writer, and try to give us something in the 1st person, say what you were up to in 1998?
Us Indie Rock Fans were partying in your beloved REM’s 40Watt Club.

If this was Facebook i would click “like” on that video. But subtract a star because unwitting viewers might assume it was filmed in North Dakota.

type something
