Great! Now I have fucking Queen song on my head. Last time it took me four days to get it out.

By the way nice music tastes ('xcept for some I have issues against). Ever heard of Oi Polloi? You might like them.

Welcome. I quite agree with your taste is music as well, with one or two exceptions. Good to see a newbie who knows his punk/ postpunk music.

The first 2/3 of that music list contains extremely high levels of 'awesome'.

Welcome, Joker in the Pack. Ever listened to Chaotic Dischord?

Haha I know there's a lot of punk bands around here, but I don't really get out much. Most of my time I spend at home reading and making clothes. O_O I was at the Mars Bar a little while back, can't for the life of me remember who was playing though. I need to get this memory thing checked out. The place is friggen great, a dump, but great.

A fellow punker, welcome much. Listen to Jillian about some peace punk stuff, but if you want obscure and underground 80's D-beat or UK82, talk to me.

I'm surprised I wasn't mentioned by some people above, heh, well whatever.

Cheers mate!
