Well a bit of week for your selector this past week. Hideously boring, that never changes, instead I had a few changes put before me such as a change of position, office and team at work. Yeah that, and I decided to throw on top a couple of my own for good measure, such as giving up the ciggies, and other fun habits that make life more interesting (though needed to go).

Got no link at all with tonights tune of choice. I was just in the feeling for some Punk, and so after a good trawl through what I could offer, I then settled on this tale of first time sex from UK rockers - The Boys. Actually, as I think of it, I did share a great conversation with a mate about his first time this weekend just gone, so there you go. Bushes, mud, dirty jeans... A true romantic. Top job! Enjoy.

Loving this track from UK band Half Man Half Biscuit! It pretty much nails the thinking behind this site, and so has kind of become my TSID anthem. Well certainly for today it has!

Punk rock n' rolling today! Why? Because we can! Lazy ass posting! Why? Because I can! Get this and many more like it on the Rough Trade double compilation album : "Rock and Roll 1." Highly recommended! A treat of a tune this is. Really! I get lazy from time to time, and any post is better than none innit. Safe bruv...

I haven't brought the rock ruckus to these pages for ages now, and after the break that I've had I would have liked to have gone for something with a bit more kick than this. Still, 30yr old Swedish punk rock makes for something a little different on your Saturday evening and that maybe counts for a good enough reason.  Plus I went to go and see the pretty cool Swedish circus act "Cirkus Cirkör," a couple days ago in Londons West End. 2 reasons!

Extended post break. Sorry! Moving on... "Sublime utilized a genre-blending mash-up style which incorporated elements of dub, reggae, ska, punk rock, improvised dancehall, hip hop, psychedelic rock and acoustic rock...," <- words all nicked from Wikipedia, though it's all true and does the trick in introducing this absolutely ace band of Californian music men.

This is the 2nd of only two tracks I know from Magazine. The first being 1980's "A Song From Under The Floorboards," which is great, and of course todays premium ROCK! feature : Shot By Both Sides! The track was released in 1978 as the very first single by the band, who themselves had formed following lead singer Howard Devoto's departure from another equally ace band : The Buzzcocks!

Timely link upload! Mind you there's probably a number of other sites out there taking the easy road here, what with the planned G20 protest marches dotted in and about the City of London today. Getting home tonight and turning on the telly, I've not seen much exciting about todays events at all really. Seems like everything more or less went off peacefully, and though I dont support any of their causes I'd still like to have seen a little action on the box.

Just like the previous post, todays music upload comes courtesey of a free covermount cd album, though the difference here is that this one came from The Sunday Times newspaper surprisingly. I think it may have been last year, or that of the year previous, that they did a two disc Anarchy In The UK - 30 Years of Punk special, that you could collect free over the course of two Sundays.

Fuck the politically minded, here's something I want to say, About the state of nation, the way it treats us today. At school they give you shit, drop you in the pit, You try, you try, you try to get out, but you can't because they've fucked you about. Then you're a prime example of how they must not be, This is just a sample of what they've done to you and me.

I'm off out tonight for a few drinks with some mates to celebrate a birthday, and as I browsed through the collection quickly in search of something "punk," I came across this beautiful acoustic version of Angels Wings, by Californian punk rockers Social Distortion. So not exactly the punk rock rock-out I had planned for Monday, though a more than worthy entry regardless.

Going to get this one in before Saturday's over! Just like I mentioned in a previous Jay Reatard post, I was lucky enough to catch this fantastic Atlanta four piece playing at a pretty quiet half full night down Madame Jojo's in Soho, at a White Heat event. Quite a treat as I had about a meter clear either side of me at the front of the stage for their headline slot that night, and so was able to come away with a few cool photo's, as well as enjoy their unique brand of "flower punk," up real close.

I debated doing Xbox instead of posting tonight. Then I remembered this thrashing rock attack by US band of 3. Saw them earlier this year at a very quiet night, punter wise, down at the White Heat night in Soho. 3 other bands played that night, but all I was in for was to see Jay Reatard. Thanks to Wikipedia for the following quote "Lindsey said his live show will remain energetic. "I just want it to be like an assault live, and softer on records," he said."

Some punk rock love. Mind you it's not played in a punk rock style, but more a softer sounding rock edge for any of you not all that into a bit oi oi moshing... I cant say that I've dug too deeply into the Ramones back catalogue, in fact this song was actually sent to me by a friend a few months ago, where it proved an instant hit. I guess in todays super fast world, there's always something else waiting to be heard that you rarely make the time to dig a little deeper and see what else the band have to offer. Aside, of course, from all the bigs hits we know and love... MP3 : The Ramones - Needles & Pins (Mediafire) / (Zshare) Buy Album - Amazon Website

Millencolin first came to my attention from the mega awesome Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 PC game from back in 2000. The soundtrack as a whole was really good, though it was this tune that stood out as my favourite. Not much else for me to say really... Cant stop the rock!

Punk Rock Friday! Well today at least. Never really followed up on these guys. No reason why, I shouldn't have... but hey, I've seen them live twice, and while the more recent Electric Ballroom show was a blowout, it was the show at the Camden venue "Underworld," from July 2007, that will go down as one of my favourite gigs ever. Proper jump and shout action that night. The song is not about sex by the way. Highly Recommended! Rock!

Listening to the car stereo as you go about your business can sometimes provide the best listening experience. I can see a lot of future posts coming up that are going to have been inspired by a recent driving trip. I had it not too long ago with the recent Rolling Stones post, and todays Clash double comes in exactly the same way. I seriously advise getting a hold of the seminal Clash album "London Calling."
