Comment:

this started out as a post-punk kinda thing, but i have a real weakness for west coast punk and couldn't keep my peanut butter out of my chocolate (so to speak). not really meant to be comprehensive or representative or anything, just stuff i had on hand that highlights a somewhat arty/bookish approach to punk. not a glue-sniffing live fast die young degenerate in sight (except for keith morris - maybe). title inspired by that time one of the gallaghers called radiohead (or was it blur?) "a bunch of fecking stoodents, man" and by a song from the fall.

i think you're right rob, since i will have to slaughter the next person who tells me how great a punk band blink 182 is...

wow guys, thanks for the kudos. you're both fearsome mix-makers, so it's flattering to see that i've done something you like. but let's not go overboard on the contemporary, top 40 punk-pop critique, okay? i don't know enough about blink 182 to make much of a comment, but i'd hate to feel obligated to put together a single artist mix for them just to keep both sides of the argument well-informed and balanced....

ok, the sheer amount of the ex and the fall, not to mention circle jerks, sham 69 and joy division, makes this brilliant. personally I think punk-pop should be a separate genre altogether and . . . top 40 hardcore? i don't think it exists. but that doesn't matter. the mix is bitchin'. (: wonderful wonderful job.

Good stuff. Where does the Crass/PiL track come from, incidentally?

Awesome, Teapin. And as for Blink 182, I don't think I'd call them "punk" (would anyone?)

Yeah, Rob, it's sad, but true. I just read this great article, in which it defines what some people think that "punk" is today - here is the direct quote:
"Once an almost ineffable way of life, the term has been reduced to a fashion statement or an easy way to categorize pop bands with crunchy guitar riffs" Quote taken from: as a preface to a great interview with the esteem-able Jack Rabid.

Oh well, I guess this site doesn't let you post website references - anyway, the quote was found out the gadflyonline.com site, under "the bigtakeover"

Sensory overload eh? i think pity or into the night or white trash... would have been just as good. looks good though. by the way, on the subject of punk, conor is the punkest thing alive.

poserlad: yeah, just about anything off of "how could hell..." fits on here nicely. picking sensory overload over the others was pretty arbitrary - so i went for something off their first ep instead. james russell: sorry, i fucked up. i know it *looks* like the last track is a crass/pil thing, but really i'm just saying that the last two tracks are crass (#30) and pil (#31). and conor must be punk fucking rock because he's bold enough to flirt shamelessly on here with the awesome rob conroy. conor, you hussy bitch! gotta dedicate the casualties' "punk rock love" on the next mix to commemorate the love....

a bold challenge. rob conroy, are you aware Conor has killed three men in three different states? Are you aware he is not affected by the same pain as mortal men such as we are? He is also the worlds greatest lover. you won't be the first art of the mixer he takes out of the game. Anyway, as long as I am commenting on this mix i don't think i had the chance to say the circle jerks selection is a fine one.

enough of this petty shit. the mix rocks, rob's a pretentious cunt, and it's still just music at the end of the day. i like the mix, teapin. thank you. i would have added the flag, personally, but that's just me.

Weird. I was just listening to The Ex when I read this -- actually, The Ex Orkest (Een Rondje Holland). Seems like a natural consequence for movements to evolve into gluttonous parody/empty fashion -- beat, hippie, punk, et cetera. It's all over-priced, over-hyped, or just over at the mall... ashes to ashes, funk to funk-y, we know Manson kids are junkies...
