- Punk rock... it's the reason I can't hear anything today. Or remember anything. Bloomington... It's the reason for my delayed adulthood, and the start of my "career" as a school teacher a few years before mandatory retirement. But it was all worth it, because I got to sing "We're the Band that You Can't See" with a paper bag over my head to a crowd of confused and annoyed college students at Bullwinkles, when I was in high school.
- What bands are you or have you been in?
- The Panics, Visiting Food (!), The Landlord Tenant Relationship, The, The Cute Band, Gluttons For Punishment, Johnny ESAD and the Phlegm Masters, Johnny ESAD and the Musik Killers, Johnny ESAD and the Hard Cold Lumps of Cheese, Johnny ESAD and the Men Without Jobs.... and, of course, the Doo Dads.

- New Hampshire......I ran around Nashua when I was in the Army. My favorite state motto, " Live free our Die". Married with children I suppose? At least some of us grew up. It just takes some of us a little longer. Thanks to the net I can now keep up with what everyones doing. Once again, it takes some of us a little longer to catch up. I took the short bus you know.......

- yes...and you were the level headed...somewhat level headed one who kept all the crazies in check. I think during that
time I was working on somekind of sitcom idea. Porn store worker/ Pot grower character........hmmm.......who moved back in with his liberal mother and ultra-right wing father, in the age of Obama, oh....that's the one I'm working on now. I need to arrange a trip to B-town soon to see the old gang, Brewer, Barge, Terrill, ofcourse yourself. Sometime in October, fall season, when the leaves are changing.

Well, Mr. Spears, now in order to be really cool, you're going to have to change your name to Eric Spears-Cyrus because MILEY CYRUS is THE FUTURE OF ROCK AND ROLL! You know Miley is going to phase out her Hannah Montana character, so be cool and ahead of the curve!
Britney may be too old to be cool for today's 2nd graders, but she obviously has plenty mental health problems and angst, even though you'd never know it from her idiotic fluff music or her airhead public statements. But when Britney shaved her head, got a tattoo, and went into rehab she suddenly looked like a messed up punk boiling over with angst.
I agree with you that after looking at those Bloomington party pictures it looks like we all had tons of fun even if we can't remember much of it! As for angst, the Panics had it and so did Yellow Rain but as a whole the Bloomington punk scene in the early 80s did have a Ramones good time party vibe with a sense of humor and that's what I liked about the Panics and Moto-X.
The Columbia, Missouri punk scene definitely had more angst and a dark, experimental edge to it than the Bloomington punk scene. You want angst? You want rage? You want insanity? Go to my Lurking Fear myspace profile at http://www.myspace.com/lurkingfears, and listen to "Dirge," "Werewolf," and "Hanging Out With The Dead." We also had song about suicide called "Last Time." I actually tried to inject more of a Cramps-style crazy, cartoon horror sense of humor into our monster music but the angst is still there. In other words, when you hear my vocals, I sound like I am totally insane! For more on this, send me an email message.
Turning back to to the more light-hearted, party time B-ton punk scene, I've got some rare photos for you that I scanned today: a 1983 picture of you in the Dalrymple family kitchen wearing a Ramones T-shirt with beer in hand while chatting with Jane Guskin. I have to admit that I had a crush on Jane. All right, I had the hots for her, OK?! Jane was just about the smartest and coolest punk rock girl I ever knew. I don't think she liked me very much but I liked her.
WELCOME TO NAME THAT BAND! The other photo at first appears to be a Panics reunion but I'm not sure what band you were playing in then since there's no John Barge and Mike Ost is there onstage but Andreas Cluver is on drums. The gig was the WQAX Meadow Dance in Dunn Meadow during the summer of 1982.
Enjoy the pictures! Cheers, Craig

This is Mars Needs Women's, first band name. We got our flyers torn down Kirkwood by some Jaycee guy I remember, wearing his little red vest.
hahahaha Calvert. that's hilarious
I'm all for MFT and the artists both making some money whether it's NP or not. I'm glad there is another way of getting us out there.
If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…
PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat.
We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
I tried to watch 100 Ways but I could feel my life force draining. Haven't the Japanese made some horror films about this video?
