$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheDude', 'D')idn't realize you were into 80s punk, dino. My thoroughly crappy high school band played in Portland clubs like this one ca. 1988:
That's cool, some friends of mine were in a band in college that became pretty popular regionally. I had much fun just tagging along. I've always had a range of music I listened to compared to the people I was around, but I like playing stuff that people like. Usually when I buy music it's because I'm thinking of someone who likes that particular stuff. As far as 80's 'punk', pre-high school <80 it was mostly blues-based and metal for me then a friend in the early 80's introduced me to the Violent Femmes and later she turned me on to the Dead Kennedys. I had been a Clash fan which also led me into Reggae. During college we would road trip to DC and caught the tail end of the Hardcore scene with Bad Brains, Fugazi etc. A much different crowd than the british punk people, but I like that too,
I pretty much like anything depending on my mood.When we get together for poker or something and I play my ipod on random it gets pretty interesting.
