01/04/23 Show 136 : Escape From The Chamber Of Hellos

like many of you, I've been throughly enjoying Jim Ruland's exhaustively researched 'Corporate Rock Sucks : The Story Of SST', however I think it's time to take an equally deep dive into another historically neglected subgenre from the same era.  Much the way TKO Posse's, "Daddy's On The Pipe" was the perfect rejoinder to The Dogs' "Mama's On Crack Rock", my forthcoming book, 'Corporate Rock Fucking Rules' is gonna be the ultimate answer-tome to Ruland's SST effort.  Concrete Blonde, Broken Homes, Lone Justice, The Motels, The Call, Wire Train. I mean, the list goes on forever and despite never having seen or met any of the bands in question (or in some instances, ever having heard a note of their music), i'm EXACTLY the right person to chronicle the movement.  If you've ever asked yourself, "when are the blandest artists of that generation gonna get their "My Band Could Bore Your Wife'?", the answer is "however long it takes to write a 300 page book".
