"Number nine, number nine, number nine…" Bobby attempts to add some
much-needed class to spring break by kicking off the show with a
wine tasting. But when that wine comes in a half-liter bottle with
a picture of a donkey on it, Snacks is skeptical and The Colonel
threatens to go full wino.
And since 9 is the magic number this time around, nine super-solid
records get discussed and reviewed: 1) new Radioactivity 7" on
Secret Mission 2 & 3) Essential Texas punk reissue 7"s by Bobby
Soxx and The Next, both from Cheap Rewards. 4)
wand-wielding-but-skateboard-friendly British 80s metal reissue by
Satan. Roll for damage! 5) latest Steve Adamyk Band LP "Dial Tone"
(produced by Matthew Melton) 6) sophomore album and first U.S.
release from Vancouver hellraisers Needles//Pins 7) Neil
Merryweather "Space Rangers" awesome 70s concept LP 8) Tuff Darts!
LP, late 70s gold-grill power-pop punk rock, and 9) early 80s
Japanese rock LP by Sheena & The Rockets
Also: Bobby and Snacks saw Paul Collins. Snacks and The Colonel saw
Radioactivity and Bad Sports. Shout-outs to Spring Breakers across
the nation and around the world! And will this questionable wine
tasting get in the way of the usual reviews of brews?
