I really like Frank Turner and he makes Fat Mike sound like a genius the way he does this song. It’s heart wrenching. And the songs NOFX written by Frank are like a list of songs that your fav Fat wreck band forgot to record. Particularly, listening to Fat mike sing The ballad of me and my friends makes it sound like a great lost Lagwagon song.

I just listened to this brilliant 8 part podumentary on Spotify About the Clash.
It’s presented by Chuck D of Public Enemy.
I thought I knew a lot about the Clash… apparently not. It was fascinating listen.

Dang, I don’t use Spotify.
where are they from?
Melbourne I think.
Only a few tracks from them, but it’s got everything I look for in music.
My definition of Punk is probably a little looser than most, I see it as more of ideology towards music than a style, so with that pompous sentence out of the way i’ll go with;
- The Wipers
- Sonic Youth
- Husker Du
- The Replacements
- Fugazi
- Wire
- Minutemen
- Mission of Burma
- Beat Happening
- The Mekons
With special mention to The Fall, Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Agent Orange, Suicidal Tendencies, Buzzcocks & the D!cks who are probably responsible for the greatest A/B side punk single of all time.

Wow, that’s awesome! I had to look him up and read a bit about him - was he from our scene back in the day?
Yeah, he’s a Warnambool/Portland kid. I think he was in the ska band Fieldtrip for a bit and then he sang in a band called As Hope fades, the core group of that band went on to do a techy death band called the Abandonment, and then Rob who played bass started Encircling sea, who are excellent if you’re into that shoe gaze/death metal deaf heaven style of things.

Loving this track right now.
Shouty anthems, air guitar licks, think they’re from Melbourne.
