I listened to the Repo Man soundtrack every morning in the car on the way to school between 10 and 12 grade. It is in the top three most formative records in my 53 years.

H20 doing 'Waiting Room', nice! I LOVE their cover of Marginal Man's 'Friend'. Saw them in a church in Boston back in 96

I always love that Scooby Doo/Medellin kids pun in Bleeding Edge. That it doesn't work with the proper pronunciation only adds to my joy whenever I read it

Thanks for reminding me of that! And I love "Friend" -- such a great song. I had a version on a tape that is long gone and I've never been able to find it.

Also, can’t figure out why hardcore bands play such short sets now. When I saw Drain in Brooklyn 2 yrs ago, it was a 45 mins set. I’d go with fewer bands and longer sets.

I'm with you. The bands last week played sets under 30 minutes, except for Drain, which was 45.

I keep looking out for rep screenings of repo man in nyc. The great Metrograph on the lower east side is the most likely location.

I'd appreciate more audio tracks. I can't remember why I subscribed to you but I think it was because you put an audio track that I liked in one of you posts.
