Music I'm Currently Listening To
Here’s some of the current music I am listening to.
Riverboat Gamblers: Underneath the Owl
I discovered this group a few years back while listening to punkradiocast and have been hooked ever since that day. This newest album of theirs was released this past February, and I purchased it on iTunes over the weekend. This is a great album. Riverboat Gamblers are from Texas, and apparently put on a great show. They were the opening act for a concert Paige and I went to a while back, but we were fashionably late and missed them, so I’ve yet to see them play live. This is just great rock music.
HorrorPops: Kiss Kiss Kill Kill
While I mainly listen to punk rock, I have always enjoyed rockabilly and psychobilly music. HorrorPops fall into the latter category. This is their third album, release early last year, and is just as great as the first two. The lead singer and upright bassist, Patricia Day, is beautiful and has a great voice. HorrorPops kind of walk the line between The Cramps and The Misfits. Great music.
Devil Doll: Queen of Pain and The Return of Eve
I came upon Devil Doll as a recommendation from Amazon when I purchased the HorrorPops album. I listened to a couple of the samples, and I ended up purchasing both albums and wasn’t sorry with the purchase. I don’t really know how to describe the music; it’s a mix of rockabilly, punk and swing. Colleen has an amazing voice, and apparently is also a very accomplished musician.
Classic: The Bouncing Souls: How I Spent My Summer Vacation
I have ever Bouncing Souls album, but this is my favorite. True Believer is a great song.

I've found some more videos for some of the songs I
have on my Classic Punk playlist. Enjoy.
Surf Punks - My Wave - man I love this band. If you can get a hold of the album, "My Beach", do it.
Johnny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory - Johnny has a lot of great songs, but this is a classic.
Bad Religion - You - back when I used to flatland bmx freestyle I had a routine for competitions set to this song. Brings back memories.
Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't) - it was a sad day when I heard this song playing in a commercial and knew it was now exposed to the masses.
Social Distortion - Another State of Mind - I love this band, every song of there's kicks ass, kind of hard to pick a favorite, but this definitely ranks up there.
The Damned - New Rose - this song fuckin' rocks.
Bad Brains - I Against I - I still remember seeing them my freshman year of university in Munich, Germany. Got to hang out with HR and the band afterward.
Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized - many an afternoon was spent skateboarding on the local basketball court to this tape.

Classic Punk
I was going through my iTunes library making a
'Classic Punk' playlist and thought I'd share what I
consider to be some of my favorite songs. A lot of
the punk I listen to is from the 70s and 80s, so a
lot of these will be from around that time period.
1. If The Kids Are United - Sham 69 : I love the video I found on YouTube for this, looks like it's from some kids variety show.
2. Your Generation - Generation X : Great song from Billy Idol's old band, Generation X.
3. BloodStains - Agent Orange : I love the riff in this song, a great skate tune.
4. Jilted John - Jilted John : Great old punk.
5. Amoeba - Adolescents : Another classic skate tune.
6. First Time - Boys
7. Brickfield Nights - Boys : Love this song
8. The End of the World - The Avengers : awful video, but a great song.
9. Homicide - 999 : This is a great old punk band.
10. Rich Kids - Rich Kids : punk boy band
11. All This And More - Dead Boys
My playlist is currently up to 76 songs. I'm not going to post them all today, will break it up into an occasional posting.

The Adicts
The Adicts are the longest surviving punk band with
all the original members. The formed back in 1975 in
Ipswich, England. I listened to them back in the day
and have gotten back into them recently. For
Christmas I received an iTunes gift card, and I used
it to purchase Made In
England. This CD contains 25 of their
greatest hits, and it's definitely something
everyone who enjoys punk music should have in
their collection. If you are interested in
hearing them, here they are performing 'Viva
La Revolution' and great song.
