I recall driving in ...I'm with you on this guy. I recall driving in L.A. listening to KCRW when I still lived out there when this very cool punk/blues band came through the speakers of my 1987 Mercury Topaz. I was so taken with the sound that I pulled into a parking garage on La Cienega to wait for the dj's set to end and list off the songs he had just played. I was already very into Pavement and the first Liz Phair record so I wasn't too surprised to hear that Railroad Jerk was on Matador records out of NYC. When I moved back East I would find myself running into Marcellus everywhere and still do. Often he'd be sitting at Veselka with a notebook or riding his bike through the Lower East Side. I managed to see White Hassle once at the Continental and enjoyed it. But Aaron, I must say I am more partial to his punkier side than I am to his blues stuff but will still look forward to catching the Hostages. "Cute" name. <br />;)Todd Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03886146872354276505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201796203503379357.post-6610123229584125572009-12-10T09:35:30.577-08:002009-12-10T09:35:30.577-08:00This writing is inspired.

A pleasure to read and again really wets my appetite. Nice job.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06218958974900286663noreply@blogger.com
