It's time once again for the Punk Rock Monday

Yes it is.

fIREHOSE is the first band for whom I willfully misrepresented my age in order to see, when I was 17 years old, a gangly high school senior loose on the Cumberland strip in Knoxville, TN. This particular iteration of Mike Watt's musical career isn't the strongest, but I love popping in Raging Full On now and again, especially for the brilliant "Relatin Dudes to Jazz."

"Brave Captain"


Covers of the Butthole Surfer's "Revolution (Part Two)" and the Blue Oyster Cult's "The Red and The Black," featuring the Surfer's Paul Leary (beware the camera work in this one, it's a little nausea-inducing)
