Pelham Bay Park, 10/02/05Many other MP3 blogs deserve formal recognition before mine (for starters, all the ones in the sidebar) but life, death, and how the media covers each are rarely fair. With or without that in mind, please direct your short attention spans to
Dawn Eden of the NY Daily News who flashes her pocket-spotlight on the punk rock messembled here on Krucoff.com for her
Blog On! column in yesterday's paper. I don't think I'm "one of the first" to travel around the world in a hot air MP3 balloon dropping digitized versions of vinyl-only releases, but I'm flattered all the same. One small mistake in the piece, the quote about Jack White should have been attributed to
Fluxblog and not
Vinyl Mine. All square? More than a circle jerk.
So feeling a little pressure to step it up today, here's a short video of my nephew playing in the Bronx with the
Groovie Ghoulies providing the backdrop. Nothing interesting happens except when my sister pushes him to the ground at the end. Enjoy.
Groovie Ghoulies - "Freebird" [Quicktime video, approx. 30 secs]

Groovie Ghoulies - "The Highwayman"Note: Neither GG's song is a cover. "Messembled" is a poor man's portmanteau (root: messembly).

This is how punk I am. Took the kid and his friend to see Green Day on Friday at Arco fucking Arena. It was fascinating. Kid was not impressed by my stories of seeing them at the Bear's Lair on the UC campus in '90 or '91. I should clarify, I was there only because he's 12, which is too young to just drop him off. Green Day is HUGE amongst the 10-14 year olds, and they were in full effect at the show. Most family friendly show I've ever been to. It was like a giant field trip with all the dads and/or moms with their pre-teen progenies. Billie Joe has fully embraced the arena rock. He trotted out every cliche in the book. Only Paul Stanley surpasses him, I'm not kidding. It was glorious, actually.
