Bonus DCB tribute by Steve Keene

It was great!

A colleague shared this photo of D. Boon's amp at the Punk Museum in Vegas.

I’ll try to look for some kind cable tie solution w/o velcro. I hate that stuff OK, if you mean the old fashioned Velcro, which we started to put on our sneakers somewhere around 1982, OK. Those can develop little afro dust bunny balls and lose their stickiness which can be unpleasant. But the more...

No Doubt had a song on a 3rd wave ska comp I dubbed off a buddy when I was 14. This was maybe 6 or 7 years before they wound up on MTV.

Yeah, nope.

A nasty week-long ear infection is finally clearing (like a lava lamp full of tiny knitting needles in my right ear for seven days, an endlessly morphing annoyance), and I feel like a fucking god. I spoke too soon. It has lingered for another week and a half. I would like my ears back. I had an ear...
