Gotten to that episode of the first season, when they visit the young man on life-support dying of AIDS.

Shit this brings back so many memories, when I was so very young.

Back in the 80's, the owners of the little shop I worked in lived upstairs. As did many shop owners in #NoeValley.

I remember my boss's mom, also my boss, bringing Jim milkshakes upstairs. He was fading.

And then he was gone, like so many others. Just gone.

Strawberry Switchblade backstage at Reading University, 42 years ago today, 12 Nov 1983.

Jill: ‘That was our dressing room – we had to get ready in the public toilets! There we are with a table of beer & crisps in the toilet. The glamour!’

Here's the original, unaltered U.S. floppy disk version of SimCity Classic for DOS. With file dates from August of 1993, this is the very first revision. Sorry for the delay, but I imported these from the USA. For the retro collectors!

PARTY BOYS
No Aggro
1984 U.S. pressing

Oh man, do I love this record. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard it.

This is a SUPER lo-fi mish-mash of #psych , #blues , and tribal #80s #artrock / #punk from Los Angeles.

The band only made three records (this one is their second), but each one is uncompromising and completely unique in their delivery.

There’s something oddly hypnotic about No Aggro, despite how incredibly Lo-fi sounding it is.
Maybe Pere Ubu-ish in some spots? Carrying the spirit of other bands like This Heat, but maybe a little more unhinged? I don’t know.

Regardless, even though it’s probably not for everyone, it’s worth a listen for the sake of pure art.

This record was limited to only 2,000 copies and is numbered #115 .

DESCENDENTS
Milo Goes To College
2010 U.S. reissue

While my wife gets ready to head out for the day for her birthday, a quick spin for me while I wait.

As I mentioned the last time I posted a Descendents record (I Don’t Want To Grow Up), this band and my early teenage years go hand in hand.

Grow Up, this, and Everything Sucks represent a very special time in my life, and I guess you could say I’m very sentimental about these records. However, I feel that as far as a lot of that simplistic punk from back then goes, Descendents records still sound great to my ears. I can still listen to them and enjoy them at 48, the same way I did when I was a teenager.

Not a single song longer than two minutes and ten seconds.
Absolute bliss, man.

Today, October 21, 2025, we are officially 10 years in the future from the future that Marty McFly, Jennifer, and Doc Brown travelled to in "Back to the Future Part II".

Somehow *still* needing roads.
