They did it way better than 96% of those corny "rich / entitled white boy" East Coast / Ivy League bands that got more famous for this type of hardcore - fight me - you're wrong.
This is the last post.
106:Peter & the Test Tube Babies - "The Mating Sounds of South American Frogs" (1983).
About as unique-sounding a punk record for the era / scene at the time; their one bright & shining moment (just my opinion), & a record that I can pretty much enjoy listening to any day / on the daily. Great guitar & bass interplay on this one. .
This blog gets updated when I'm feeling it.
Lately my distractions have been elsewhere (my painting / illustration / bike riding, ha).
Just so all three of you know that.
104: FACADE BURNED BLACK.
UPDATE: So yeah it's been nearly two weeks since I posted. The world has been busy being messy - such is life under Covid / The End Days of the Trump Administration. I've been busy working on / in my art studio & just generally trying to keep my mental game on point as much as I can. Hope you guys are well, too. All 4 of you, ha ha.

FEATURED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
This world is in a state of decay that hasn't been seen in generations.
Love your people - tell them often. I lost ALOT of good ones this past year, & Covid doesn't pick & choose - it consumes all.
If you have a better idea, tell me - please. Lates!!!

They defy any one certain genre of extreme music, & that's a good thing for you, the listener.
Are you listening?".
100: BL'AST!
100 Posts deep here since I started this blog.
Speaking of, I started this on March 17th. of this year (2020) - the day that California enacted the Shelter-In-Place order.
I figured I was gonna need a new (revive an old) hobby, so here it is. We are now 11 months into this (fucking bullshit) pandemic, & today marks the start of the second Shelter-in-Place order, so how's that for (shitty) timing.
It's gonna be a dismal December in a hell that could have been prevented (had it been addressed properly), so let's just do our best to get through this.
Music is the answer.
It's always there when you need it.
It comes in a million flavors, & you should enjoy a plethora of those flavors at any given time throughout the day for maximum effect.
Music enhances, satiates, hypes you up, mellows you out - all that stuff. It's the best / cheapest "drug" out there.
There's no rules, either - unless you wanna be that Douche Lord who subscribes to what the "Scene Police" deem cool / not cool.
FUCK THOSE DUDES! Listen to what YOU want to listen to!
Always. End of rant.
Enjoy this mega-collection of everything I have in my Bl'ast! collection.
Clifford is the OG Homie, & one of the nicest fuckin' dudes you'll ever meet. The man has BEEN THERE, & this band should be appreciated hella more than they are.
And you don't need Dave Grohl to tell you that (you don't need Dave Grohl to tell you anything, honestly).
Hang in there & STAY UP!
