I Like This Track

“New Kind Of Kick” - The Cramps

I had a chance to see The Cramps the October before Lux died and I didn’t take it. I am such an idiot. 

“I Was A Teenage Werewolf” - The Cramps

I’ve always wanted to see this in the opening credits of Planet Terror. Yeah, Robert Rodriguez’s OST was great, but you can’t beat some good, old-fashioned Psychobilly.

“Kill The Poor” - The Dead Kennedys

With all the protesting going on lately, I’m kind of surprised to not see more of a punk resurgence. Maybe there is one and I’m just not paying attention. Whatever; kill the poor, get paid.

“It Ain’t Gonna Save Me” - Jay Reatard

Screaming stoked-ly about how much life sucks makes life feel like it doesn’t suck so hard. Jay knew this. I’m really sad he’s not around anymore; he had a unique sound and I feel like he could’ve done great things as punk evolved.

“Asskickatron” - Fagatron

This reminds me of when I hung out with all the crusties and punx in high school. In a good way. Sometimes, I just like bad (read: good), sloppy, powerchords.

“Saturday Night” - The Misfits

I know this is new Misfits, but it’s such a cute song about death ‘n’ stuff. Who doesn’t like murder in a drive-in?
