The Ramones, without question. Kraftwerk doesn't even come close.I like Kraftwerk quite a bit, but there is no way that they've ever come close to writing a tune anywhere near as good as on the first four Ramones records.

I think this is the band you may be talking about. They are now called "L0vE Tan". Somehow terrible, and incredible, that name change. If it's not the band you were talking about, it's the band I was thinking you were.

Record is sort of so-so. But they were a great rock band at Schuba's. Really enjoyed the show.
The opening band, The Muslims, were also really good. They reminded me, somehow, of a more rocking version of The Feelies. Not bad at all.

Rocky Marciano visited my grandparents in the hospital when my father was born. He was a friend, in some capacity, with my grandfather. They were also both lifelong Teamsters. My mother's father, whom I never met, was supposedly one of General George Patton's right-hand-men. My father is a former pa...

In the quiet night before I fall asleep, I often recall wonderful experiences I had in Missoula, and I enjoy them like little comic vignettes or short films. I fantasize openly about moving there and trying to make a living, but my girlfriend will have none of it. Missoula, Montana, you were a grea...
