Very cool – thanks to Steve B. for the heads-up.

Awesome DEADBEATS flyer from a gig they played in San Francisco in the late 70s. There weren’t many of ‘em, from what I understand.

Hey, don’t forget that you can listen to, AND DOWNLOAD, my hour-long radio show/podcast Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio, edition #9.
Here’s what I said about the thing when I posted it the first time last week:
I’m back with the 9th edition of the Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Show Podcast, a podcast that pretends it’s a live radio show but is really just a guy drinking a beer in his den, dragging files across his laptop’s screen, blathering into a mic and then calling it a podcast. It’s a big hour and ten minutes this time, with rare tracks from bands you’ve heard of (The Cramps, Guided By Voices, Royal Trux and Giant Sand) along with buried gems from bands you haven’t (Liechtenstein, Mambo Taxi, The Girls and Family Curse). In between are bands that your friends have heard of, but that you haven’t: Sic Alps, King Tuff, Veronica Falls, Saccharine Trust, The Consumers, Gang Green, White Fence and many more.

I played this smoker, “Teen Love Song”, on my Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio Podcast #9 last week, and I got calls from as far away as Moldova, Ceylon and Persia that it had melted the earbuds off at least seven different iPods – and one Zune!
THE CONSUMERS were a Phoenix punk rock band who up & moved to Los Angeles, recruited scary goth punk singer Dinah Cancer to front them, and turned into 45 GRAVE. They’d have never gotten away with the less-than-classy set of lyrics they display here on “Teen Love Song” with a woman singing them, which is why 45 Grave didn’t do this song yet did virtually all of the other Consumers songs captured on their posthumous LP/CD, “All My Friends Are Dead”.

A treatise and call to action on the band V-3, published in Siltbreeze fanzine #6 around 1990.
Very cool – thanks to Steve B. for the heads-up.
I’m meeting and assisting DJ La Lengua for the first time tonight, as she’s graciously asked me over while she plays female-fronted punk rock on RADIO VALENCIA from 10pm-Midnight Pacific time tonight (that’s 1-3am on the US east coast, and a different time in other places). If all goes as planned it’ll be my first time on “real” radio since, yep, 1991 (as opposed to the phony radio I’m pumping out weekly now).
Since Ms. Lengua mostly plays 70s/80s punk on her show Ribbon Around a Bomb, I’ve prepared a set of obscure “90s punk” in which the XX chromosome rules. Listen online, via the Radio Valencia app – or via the podcast that’s sure to get posted in a week or two.

A scan of the new MUDHONEY documentary DVD, I’m Now. Take a look at who’s listed dead last in the “cast”. That’s yours truly, right behind Sonic Youth/Pussy Galore’s Bob Bert.

Julie Lanfeld from SF Valley hardcore heroes SIN 34 at their reunion show in 2008. Wow. Read about it here.
