  1. Wow. You channeled many an inner 15 year-old. I like it. But did the grown-up Noah wrestle a bit w/the decision to include “Institutionalized?”Did Jett edge out Albini, or are you over the Chicago scene? Inquiring minds want to know.

  2. Albini’s on there. Rapeman is him.

    And I love Institutionalized. First heard it when I was in my 20s, I think, so it’s always been a grown-up pleasure for me.

  3. Oh…the song that I’m maybe not 100% behind at this stage in my life is the Clash’s “White Riot”. I really loved the Clash’s first album for a while there, but listening to it again last week…I don’t know. They’re a pretty boring band in a lot of ways, even at their best.

    Still love Le Tigre though. They mention Ariel Schrag and David Wojnarowicz in that last song, bless ’em.

  4. I didn’t see the Rapeman track (to quote Brenden Graham “Marmoset there’d be days like this).
    I still like the Clash but they don’t push my buttons anymore.
    I’m with you on Le Tigre. One of the best shows I ever saw was Bikini Kill. Just great stuff.
    Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

  5. Cool mix, including the ever influential Shaggs :)

    The fictional Hoppers being in CA, I can imagine them into The Bags (or maybe I’m still giddy from having my copy of Violence Girl autographed) Bands I remember referenced in the comics were X Ray Spex, The Avengers, Dead Kennedys, and in Maggie’s pre-punk days, The Sweet

  7. The Bags were a band based out of L.A. around that era–here’s footage from the “Decline of Western Civilization” movie

    Yeah, The Sweet were the British glam band – Maggie reminisces how she and a childhood friend who died made “Wigwam Bam” their secret “anthem”–thus the name of that story arc.
