ICU - Play Dead 7" [1993 Radical Records]
I don't remember how I ended up owning this. Based on the cover of the 7", I would never in a million years have bought this. Which would be a shame, because this is excellent, but isn't, because I do own it. Life, right?

Various - Lump Of Coal CD [1995 Yell-O Records]
Have I seriously never posted this? That's crazy, as this is one of my favorite Christmas comps and almost designed to be on this blog. I think I was only doing 7-inches for a while, so this never did make it.
Anyways....
A lineup of great mid-90's San Diego pop-punk, with The Neighbors rounding it out with some decidedly not-pop punk. Spazboy, Dodgeball, Third Rale, Carter Peace Mission, Jon Cougar Concentration Camp, Everready, and a combination of all the bands called Second String.
Merry Christmas!

Repercussion Unit - Christmas Party CS (1984 Robey Records)
BTW if you're like, where's the punk, dude, I'm not here for this shit? Well here it is:
And all it's going to take for me to delve into that folder (at least for a little while) is for one of you motherfuckers to send me a Bluesky invite. Capice?

Rando Mixtape 1
Bought a bunch of cassettes (really just for the Napa cassette holder they came in) that had some homemade mixtapes strewn throughout. Figured I'd give them a listen and share. Might be good for some background music while doing whatever it is you do that requires background music.
This one just has a side one. That's pretty weak mix tape making skills IMO. You gotta fill the thing up.

Google Bard Punk Rock Fanfic #AI
I was on a Discogs bender, trying to get credits for some 90's SoCal bands.
Like, what? I looked up "Dangerfield's Secret Army" and got nothing. Kevin Seconds formed the Minutemen? Is there a single fact in this entire response?
Yes, there is a band called Nonox 9, they would change their name to 1208. And look! Another Seconds/Coats/MacDonald project!
Kevin Seconds not mentioned, so maybe this one is helpful. Except those names do not line up at all with the info I have, and I can't find any evidence that those albums exist.
Another "amicable" band break up! Again, I think the names are wrong (although there is a "Danimal" in the band). And Fishsticks influences by the Aquabats is one of the funnier things I've read.
Good luck using Google Bard on your term papers, kids!

Sick - Carpe Diem CD [1998 Self-released]
Nu metal lite from Colorado. Not my cup of tea , but not any worse, and arguably better than, most of the Alice In Chains inspired nu metal on major labels from that era. Weird who gets signed and who doesn't.

Gimcrack - Bad Day Every Day CD [1996 Stiff Pole Records]
I've heard Morphine's "Cure For Pain" in two random situations this week. Weird.
I thought I'd posted this before? Apparently not. I love this band. And now, besides comp tracks, you have their entire discography.
