Selections from The Punk Vault [Busted at Oz]
Various Artists – Busted at Oz LP (1981 Autumn Records) Since New York and Los Angeles had their own regional compilations, it seemed only fitting that Chicago should have one too.

Selections from The Punk Vault [Denied Remarks]
Denied Remarks – Ross’ Car (1986 Landmind Records) In keeping with the current theme of DuPage punk from the early days (especially revolving around the Downers Grove area), this brings us to Denied Remarks.

Two new
In the last 24 hours, I have done two things that I have never done before… The first thing was yesterday I went to a gym with Lady Combustion and I worked out. We joined one on Sunday after playing hardball with them to get a sweet price, it was too good of a deal [...]
