Check out the brilliant new Descendents album;

Some controversy about their "bonus disc" title...

Louise Distras commented on this on her FB site too and apparently received some abuse (even from members of "punk" bands), which made me quite sad.

As I understand it 'Spazz' in the U.S.A. is slang for an awkward or clumsy person and has no relation to anyone being physically disabled.
 As George Bernard Shaw said: "England and America are two countries separated by a common language".

Yeah, I guess it was a misunderstanding. Still no reason for anyone to tell Louise she's a retard, bitch and worse. 

I would just like to say yes I'm aware that sometimes words have different meanings in different countries and would like to thank all those intelligent people for providing such kind and insightful commentary such as calling me: PC FAG, RETARD, RETARDED TWAT, CUNT, SPAZZ, FUCKING HOMO, PUSSY, HIPPY, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, SUCK MY DICK, GO DIE, LIBTARD, BITCH, GO PLAY IN TRAFFIC. Special thanks to members of punk bands who have threatened my safety...

I think it's better for me not to know which bands... 

Reminds me a bit of the guy who behaved like he was a "punk expert", but then made public comments which were quite right-wing, anti refugees etc.

Thanks to Rockula for clearing the misunderstanding up- shame Louis and louder than war didn't do their homework before commenting. Having said that the insults directed at Louise are disgraceful. Hopefully the controversy won't cover up the fact that it is a ridiculously great album.

So, it all kicks off again tomorrow - once again, without me. Regular reports please TUTS.

I wonder what the Subs will sound like with their latest guitarist? I'm sure Steve (Hi-Fi Spitfires) will do a grand job.

Have fun!!!

You'll get a report when it's over! That won't include a report on the Subs though as they clash with Brix Smith, then The Weirdos. Didn't know Steve had joined them- met him a couple of times last year, nice bloke plays with The Upstarts too. What happened to their last guitarist?

[Fred21]

Thanks in advance.

Not a great response even till today... everybody nursing hangovers in their beds (or at work)...?

Looks like the first couple of numbers from Daughter and the Slogs:

Urgh! Just back...

But whilst I gather my thoughts here's a TV gem from the evening.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNLoT14AZ7U&feature=youtu.be

Plus there was a new song; 'No Hope Street' - is that the right title? Very good whatever it is called! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULkN3R0h6I4&feature=youtu.be
