If you guys are like me, you sometimes get an itch in your brain that can only be scratched by very, very, very, very, very, very loud punk rock. If and when this happens, The Buzzcocks' 2003 return to form will fix you right up. Waaay better than it has any right to be, Buzzcocks has been referred to by more than a few as possibly the best album of the band's career. I don't know about all that, but give a listen anyway, won't you? And don't Forget To Pogo!
"Useless"
Life's full of disappointments
Wonder where the good times went
Craving for recognition
Rather than accomplishment
Nobody cares what your name is
And it's gonna stay that way
Everything is off the record
Face it there's nothing to say
Life's only temporary
And then you fucking die
It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time
Mingling amongst the masses
That much would be enough
You used to be my rival
Quit when the going gets rough
I never witnessed the moment
When all you ever wanted was me
Understand now the penny's dropped
Pissed off bunny not happy
Don't want to think about it
It makes me fucking mad
It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time

Great, thanks, Jay! This blog is much better since you murdered the other bastards and baked them into the EdFex 50th anniversary cake! Or did you do that yet...?
Also, 'Buzzkuntz' (get it?) by Shelley / Devoto will be up there soon.
THANK YOU! I saw the Buzzcocks at the HOB in NO several years ago on Halloween night and it was incredible. Can't wait to listen to this.
It's on the itinerary for this weekend, Joe.
Oh shit, must've tied Dave's hands too loose. Everybody else seems properly prepared, though.
