Huh, cool. I wouldn't have imagined someone in here to be also into them. I can only recommend to go there and see them live. Rhe brass sounds WAY better live and those skanking masses are always fun. I will never forget when they played "Twotone Army" "Weekend in LA" or when in the end the Brass players of the supporting bands joined in "Matt Davis". That was awesome...
Go there, you wont regret it....

Jock, Foo's were also one of my first bands to get into. I used to listen to Rock,Hardrock, Alternate Rock a lot when i first discovered this great thing called music, but now im rather into Punkrock,Ska&Reggae (only musical interest though, im neither a punk nor a rudeboy nor a rastafari

).

Right now playing:

Pirate Radio by The Toasters

Sven, we seem to have similar tastes...

...or is it just me remembering the good old days of high school punk leanings?

Nibelung

yeah, seems so.

Those high school leanings might take some effect there

.
To me high school is not really memories yet (although it's weekend right now

). Still got one year to go.
These "general" high school punk tendencies you could notice seem to have faded, most stundents are more into Hiphop and R'n'b and dont care about politics and social problems, only about who's got the coolest outfit. And those younger "punks" think "weird haircut, fast/loud music and skating = punk"....

Yes Sven, I know what you are talking about...and most "punk" of today's highschool kids is usually only a shadow of the "original idea" of the music and the movement.

I never really did belive the "philosophy" punk was offering, but the though of an independant voice is allways an interesting thing to hear.

...and it is true, the further back you go, the better bands you get. I mean, anyone who would call most of the 90's bands punk is way off-board... AND publicity usually destroys these bands.

best,
Nibelung

Heh, Exactly the same here...14 y/o + skateboard + dyed hair + Lostprophets = Punk...Aye right it does. Agreed Nibelung, the oldies are the best. I used to listen to a bit more punk in the past like Less Than Jake and NOFX.

It'll come as a shock, but instead of Nirvana today, Im listening to Leadbelly.

Rock Island Line - Leadbelly

ah Leadbelly - wasn't he the guy behind the song 'john hardy'?

Jock · Post by **Jock** » Sat Nov 26, 2005 11:21 am

Yep, thats the one Rolf. Good acoustic/vocal music, all recorded in the 30's/40's too! Worth picking up an album or two of his...I have to admit I only found out about him when I heard Nirvana play 'Where did you sleep last night' which is of course, a Leadbelly cover.

Cheers,

Jock, that's the same link to Ledbelly I took to...

there's a great version of 'john hardy' by the gun club on their 'miami' lp, which was probably the first time I'd heard a leadbelly song... oh hang on, didn't he do 'black betty'? I've got the RamJam version on 7in somewhere. I understand they took some flak for that title, and had to point out the song's origins to their detractors!

saw the damned last night, they were good fun.

Hi,

Nibelung, cool...Nirvana's version of Where did you sleep last night is amazing. That scream at the end...good stuff. Rolf, indeed he did...Black Betty is a great song, bam ba lam! We used to sing it in class when I was in school, just to annoy the teachers...Oh, the folly of youth.

You heard of Nine Black Alps, Rolf?
