i love the big boys,,,another musical gem from austin (along with scratch acid & the butthole surfers).... it is not surprising that jim kerr collects such killer stuff...makes me wish i kept all those halloween toys as a kid... yeah,,,the dusting seems to be an issue,,,but i give him the benefit of the doubt that it is the dusty southwest...
It ain't dusty here at all in Austin... but we have one of the highest purchase of allergy medicine per city in the US due to the pollen. Really nice collection, there are several stores here in Austin that actually look like his toy collection that sell all sorts of toys and themes swag vintage and recent. Not really a buyer of that stuff but its great to see.
This blog entry got circulated among my friends like wildfire due to the drawing but my eyes were on everything. "we got your money" is one of the best songs ever!
I saw the Big Boys at the Thrasher Skate Rock Vol. 1 Record Release party. Still one of the best bands I've ever seen. </old man rambling>
I think so, I had remembered it at being at the On Broadway but Brian from JFA (I interviewed him once) told me otherwise... I can't believe you still have city street wheels... envy!
You know...my favorite jam of the Big Boys will always be "Damaged 43" aka "The Big Picture". It's not on any of the regular releases. Only ona comp from the early 80's but it's available on the Wreck Collection 2xLP/cd on Gern Blandsten Recs. Do yoursleves a favor,guys and gals,and get that release to here some great tracks(also dig that jam "New Wave Slave"). Also that Minor Threat "Out Of Step" original 12" album art is AMAZING!!!
