The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Autumnal Punkquinox 2011

The equinox arrives in just a few days, which means it’s time for one of our special all vintage punk rock editions of the Unblinking Ear Podcast.

I know that even at this late date, some of you still have trouble wrapping your head around the whole punk thing. Hopefully, this report from 20/20 news magazine below help you get a handle on it. No word on if Hugh Downs sold the Lewd and Rude Kids records featured to supplement his social security income. (Via WFMU and Dangerous Minds.)

Vertigo! Oh no!

Some people seem to have the notion that I only post youtube clips as way to have content for this blog when I don't anything particularly interesting to say. This may well be true, but when something is this awesome who are you to judge?



For a band that never got around to officially releasing any recording during their lifetime, the Screamers sure seem to have made a lot of videos. And this was before MTV. There's another clip for "122 Hours of Fear" on youtube as well. These may well be outtakes from their aborted "video album" or their never completed Population One film, which, if I'm understanding it correctly, has a remarkably similar plot to I Am Legend. They have it over Will Smith in the tunes department though. Get jiggy with that!
