For some reason, I just got nostalgic about the LA punk scene, so I
used that as a starting point for rooting around on that Singingfish
site recently pimped here, which led me to all kinds of fun things
(geez, I hadn't heard Youth Gone Mad's "Oki Dogs" in frickin'
FOREVER!) and caused me to go buy a few things on Amazon as long as I
was online. But I got reminded of a band I used to love, and I throw
it out to you all: whatever happened to the guy from the Stepmothers?
Their guitarist and songwriter, Jay Lansford, had a real knack for
hooks, much more so than most of the other hardcore guys, and as far
as I know they only released about a dozen songs in their entire
lifetime. Did he ever go on to do anything else?
If you ever find the YOU WERE NEVER MY AGE album (Poshboy, 1981), snap
it up: "Where is the Dream?" is the only L.A. hardcore song I know of
that sounds a lot like Cheap Trick's first album.
Still wired from the Barenaked Ladies holiday show at the Orpheum
earlier tonight (and props to Ed for getting the inflection right on
"wicked retahded," something that even many who live here can't
manage, including me),
