I was eleven years old and only missed going with my friend’s older sib to the LA Forum show by a whisker. Jimmy Page was strung out on heroin and wearing a white poppy suit one night and black dragon the next (when he wasn’t wearing SS gear; subtle, innit) while drummer John Bonham was wearing a white boiler suit and derby hat a la droogs from “Clockwork Orange.” Those shows were insane, legendary🔥

I saw them a bunch of times (lucky me) but I will never forget the show at the Lucky 7 House in Olympia circa 2003 with the Whip (RIP). Absolutely nuts. I was a youngster at the time and amazed that all the older grumpy rockers were going wild. I guess now I’m an old grumpy rocker reminiscing about it.

My dad took me to see AC/DC on their black ice tour back when I was in 6th grade. We were pretty up high but I remember having so much fun. I can still smell the beer that was spilled all over my hoodie sleeve. The next year I would start my descent into my emo phase up until sophomore year.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s. Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha). For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s. So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it: “Unwound is the best band of the ’90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesn’t say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasn’t stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the ’90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.” R.I.P. Vern Rumsey. This is their finest song, from their finest album. I really can’t say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. 🖤
