All transmitters to full, all receivers to boost. This is London Calling!

Thirsty Thursdays Presented by The Dollar Boys is a highly unorganized group of individuals who get together to play the best and worst of old and new, punk, hardcore, and god knows what else. Punk podcast. Come for the music, stay for the memories.

A quick snapshot of some bands from Portland, Oregon.

It’s my last day in LA and I’m spending my dwindling hours in the SoCal sun (actually fuck the sun, it’s on notice) putting together this podcast. Because why not fill some free time by bringing you fourteen awesome songs? Plus I just finished the book I was reading. Thrilling vacation choices!

I first saw Chip Kinman sing and play guitar when I was a student at UCLA in the mid-‘80s. I was a big fan of Rank And File, the genre-defining cowpunk band formed by him and his brother Tony (the bass player with the booming baritone), before I knew about The Dils, the first-generation and hyper-political punk band they also co-founded. I was excited to check out their noisy industrial duo, Blackbird. They were great.

Looks like things are going south for Johnny And Elwood.

Move over for a damage case.

What a great return to podcasting. I’ve taken a break from it because life just gets in the way sometimes. Instead of sharing some of my favorite record labels, bands, and songs with you, I’ve instead been working two jobs, moving, and traveling. Which is why I find myself in Southern California at the moment.
