No surprise - they swapped members. The Blasters were a snooze, tho. Hey trivia fans! Debbie Harry &Chris Stein of Blondie produced, sang backup on, and released "Miami." The later years? Don't forget Doorag. Or even Mojo Nixon.

Love the Gun Club props. Don't know how far Pt. 2 is going, but you can certainly hear Jeffrey Lee Pierce's scuzz-blooze influence all over the Mark Lanegan catalog (with and without the Trees). Great song choices, too. Well done.

All the recordings i've heard of him so far, and i'm a recent convert, display a complete knowledge of the nuances of great blues with the punk ethic. The rest of the selection i can take or leave though.. Absolutely correct about the brilliant gun club and Jeffrey Lee Pierce.

Good stuff. Yet my ears return to their first single and EP. "Frantic Romantic," "Last Night," and "Pissed on Another Planet" are all outstanding jabs of sneering pop punk.

Good point. I was going to include a review of Spencer’s former (kickass) band Pussy Galore But yeah, you’re right, JSBE was a large part of the ‘90s, I especially like the LP Crypt Style – (think most of those songs were included on a CD w/ a different title- can’t remember …) Hi Jeff – Jim What a mess that Chilton record is… – so addictive!

Don't know a lot of these bands or songs, but I have a feeling I'm gonna dig 'em based on what you've written about them. I guess Jon Spencer would fit in here somewhere as well.
