Hahah! I have been waiting for this for some weeks since M. mentioned it to me!

You had to engage with ideas or social realities—sometimes both, if you could make them convincingly overlap. Which need not inevitably equal a decline into mere style cultism; after all, the film industry recovered nicely after having to introduce plots and dialogue once the audience tired of trompe l'oeil train tunnels and people comically falling through paper walls.

Dave Q, I kiss thee.

There's an exhilarating under-the-wire feeling throughout No Thanks!—as if these bands knew that there were only a few years left before mass digitization would render even "One Chord Wonders," as the Adverts termed themselves, as fussy anachronisms, so there was a hysterical rush to isolate what was good, or at least irreproducible elsewhere, about live instrumentation. Namely, drum parts that fall victim to their single-mindedness by becoming their own out-of-control opposites, and root-fifth distorted electric guitar chords, which communicate a proper understanding that there's really no other electric guitar sound of any fuckin' use to anybody—"clean" sounds "acoustic," which should equal "firewood."

Of course, everyone's going to have their favorite omissions and quibbles. (Rhino themselves apologize in the liner notes for being unable to license any Sex Pistols or Public Image Ltd. tracks.) Since I'm getting paid to list mine, it would've been cool to include the Germs' "No God" for the intro, and while I love the Runaways, they have even less to do with "punk" than Joe Jackson, who was at least "eccentric looking" and, even punklier, sounded emotionally unstable enough to make recording him seem "ethically questionable."

I am so happy. :-)

Matos, I'm still hoping Dave can do a review of you-know-what by you-know-who. Still, this is genius.

Michael, check your email

I also prefer the Damned's "New Rose" to their "Neat Neat Neat," because on the former, Rat Scabies is the greatest drummer in recorded history.

I have a friend who would very much love to read this, being one of the old school punx0rs. She'll love it. Nice review!

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 27 November 2003 02:32 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a Jon Langford thing on the box set in this week's Time Out New York.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 27 November 2003 07:16 (twenty-one years ago)

you know who (who) / did you know what (what) / with you know who (yeah)/ but just keep that between me and you

Indeed it is, Jess. Matos has just been reminded.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 27 November 2003 12:48 (twenty-one years ago)

What The Blount said.

Saddest circle jerk ever.

― David Allen (David Allen), Monday, 14 June 2004 17:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, it's always awful when people who enjoy one another's work express their admiration openly, isn't it? Unseemly-like.

I dont care, when it comes to the use of emoticons, I just cannot approve.
