Here's another nod for Transplants = Tim Armstrong's B.A.D. Current mood: mini-retrospective, T&A style.

Operation Ivy (Energy) - "Bad Town"

Downfall - "New Regulations"

Rancid (1993) - "Outta My Mind"

Rancid (Let's Go) - "7 Years Down"

Rancid (...And Out Come the Wolves) - "Junkie Man"

Rancid (2000) - "Antennas"

Pug Sounds

Millennium New Year. Olympia. The other one. Phone books meant more when stacked. Your fever burned a hole through the z's. The Reef and Tekla. Better time if we get lucky next. What could have been wasn't half as fun as being had. The hospital. Sleater-Kinney Road. I felt cheated, life scissored death. When the message over the intercom broke the silence - "Justin Trosper, please come to the pharmacy counter" - I knew we were golden.

Unwound - "Dragnalus" and "Corpse Pose"

The Sympathetic Sounds Of Toe-Rag

Ludella Black - "I've Just Seen a Face"

Previously: Gray Matter cover and Beatles original

Fantastic Planet

From the Very Small Records compilation "Four Two Pudding":

Soup - "Hangin' Out With Myself"

Sewer Trout - "Holiday In Romania"

3 Finger Spread - "Pisstoy"

Previously: Sewer Trout for President

Circle Jerks: Group Six

It's no Group Sex but I always thought the Circle Jerks VI album was their 2nd best.

Circle Jerks:
"Patty's Killing Mel"
"Casualty Vampires"
"All Wound Up"

Like the Shoe

Slint - "Rhoda"

Previously: "Nosferatu Man"

Screwed Screwed, Chopped Chopped

If Rancid deserves comparison to The Clash (and at times it does), then the Transplants' first album is Tim Armstrong's natural hair extension to Big Audio Dynamite. You already know the shampoo commercial song but the rest is pretty good too. I never checked out their follow-up release but apparently it was the first rock album to be screwed and chopped. No help from Nate Hill.

Transplants - "Sad But True"

Previously: Tenderloin and Junkies Runnin' Dry

Sometimes he looks exactly like Evan Dando

Crofton legend living in Wilmington, NC and carrying a gun.

Guided By Voices - "Dragons Awake!" and "Teenage FBI"
