Who are the Dropkick Murphies to compete in the battle of the labels, Epitaph vs. Hell Cat. Did the DKM start their own label because no one would release their album, NO because BR already did it and paved the way. I'm pretty sure that Hell Cat has only gotten major distabution because of the support from Epitaph. Kind of is reminiscent of the begining of Fat Wreck Chords.

Anyways, I'm sure it friendly. But I'm alittle soured by a review that I read a few years ago about how poorly recieved BR was when the OPENED!!!!!!!!, WTF, FOR BLINK 182!!!!! The kids didn't even know who they were. Granted I was born the year their first record came out, BR that is, but I was already into them by the time that Suffer and Against the Grain were coming out. But come on, how can you like punk and not know who certain bands were, and are.

"NO I never heard of Black Flag" A common response when I'm talking to younger people than me and trying to relate.

At least Sonic Youth shirts are in style now it seems........althoug h the people I see wearing them really can't discuss them at all? Is Sonic Youth a trendy band now, hell I've only met like 4 actual people that listen to them alot, and fewer that knew who they were back in the early/mid 90's.

This should be my sign that after a quater century I'm losing touch with the young heads.

sigh
