Santa Cruz has a pretty good scene. It used to be way better. Agent Orange, Blast, Fury 66(r.i.p.), Good Riddance. But lately its lying more on the reggae/punk rock bands. Hell there's all types but its not what it used to be per se.

That's LA too. It's just about anywhere with a scene where a lot of bands play. People get bored. Also, I don't know if you noticed but there's a new species of showgoers my friends call the 'white belts,' since that's what they wear, and if looking bored at shows paid they'd all be billionaires. LA is plagued with those people. If they just said something interesting every once in a while or showed just a flicker of human emotion I wouldn't mind but I'm afraid they're all retro form and no content. -

Have y'all seen Bob Mould's blog?

My friend in DC, Buck says he sees or hears of the Bobster DJ'ing but not "guitar skinning."

Sun, March 7, 2004 - 6:22 AMFair enough. But they weren't the cholesterol clogging up the LA scene five years ago so I thought perhaps it was similar back east. But I'm in my place. Now to repeat freshman year of cool school.
