Re: RECORD SHOPS in YOUR HOME TOWN ... Does your home town have a cool local Record Shop?

Schoolkids Records, est. 1974 Raleigh, NC https://schoolkidsrecords.com/ I will say that Raleigh is a terrible, hipster, no rock music town. It's hillbilly bluegrass or nothing in this burg. Which is a shame because COC, Cry of Love, and others formed here when there was a solid rock and punk scene...

Re: Worst albums you've ever heard

Could also see an argument for any of the pre-Pepper Keenan CoC albums when they were still trying to be punk, (Eye for An Eye, Animosity, Technocracy). Those are all pretty rough. I am not a huge fan of these albums. But I have lived in Raleigh for 20+ years and people who grew up here and are a l...

Re: Anyone remember this song from 1992?

I have never heard that song. But have you heard this episode of the "Reply All" podcast? It is amazing, and is about the very thing you are talking about - remembering a song from your youth and going crazy trying to track it down. It is my very favorite podcast episode of all time. https...

Re: My alarm clock is from the early 80’s

I got a 99 Ford Ranger
So do I, although it is not my daily driver. It was the first nice thing I ever bought - got it new for $12k and my dad had to co-sign the note. I was 24 years old.

It has a manual transmission and roll-up windows. It holds many memories for me.

Re: My alarm clock is from the early 80’s

I am also 50. I received an alarm clock for Christmas when I was 9. The thing was badass. It had a digital clock and a cassette player, along with AM/FM radio. It looked exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qrt8RSF3ac Sometime in the mid-90s, a cassette of Steve Miller's Greatest Hits...

Re: So Dee Snider moved into my neighborhood…

Funny in the interview he mentions he wants to "turn NC's movie industry into what Atlanta's done." Such a newbie comment, considering that Wilmington, NC was the top production location on the east coast (aside from NYC). Up until about a decade ago when the state legislature took away t...

Re: Blackie Lawless made the Washington Post

I enjoyed the story but I'm not sure it hit the target. I don't feel as though Blackie is relevant enough to deserve that kind of attention.

As an aside: The author of this story attended one of my barbecues last year.

Wednesday 13 gives a tour of his house

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEo0WDXrecA

He must spend half his waking hours dusting all that stuff.

Seems like a nice guy but I could never get into his music. He played 5 minutes from my house a few weeks ago and I did not attend.

Re: Metal Sludger on Love Connection

Some guys really need to know when to give it up with the hair. Normally I would agree but I bet this guy is hilarious to have a beer with. I mean, he works at Duke University. https://oit.duke.edu/profile/stephen-toback/ And he apparently plays open mics like 10 minutes from my house. Maybe I'll b...
