I've been curious as to what your thoughts are of these following bands :

Rites of Spring -Guy Picciotto's pre-Fugazi band and "emo" forefathers
Pere Ubu
The U-men -I know they played a show with Big Black, and you did mention them on a former post, but some more info, please.
Meat Puppets-also played with Big Black at some point, I saw an article in which you referred to them as the Meat Puppies....
Young Marble Giants
Siege-80's Boston Hardcore band, called the "fathers of Grindcore".

Then everybody would leave the Cricket Boy alone, and I'd invite him over to spend the night at my house, but after about five minutes of that loud chirping I'd have to kick him out. Maybe later we could get up a petition to get the Cricket Family run out of town. Bye, Cricket Boy.
