Selections from The Punk Vault [391]
391 – 12″ EP (1981 Posh Boy Records) Recently on the KBD group, someone mentioned the band 391 and it made me remember, “oh yeah, I have that record”. I bought this record a long time ago when I found it at a store and I had never heard of the band, or had ever [...]
Live from Combustion Manor returning soon!
As I’m sitting here nursing a hangover from two evenings of boozing, I figure it is as good of a time as any to give you all a little update on what’s going on. Friday night I went over to the Clown Ranch to pick up the button press as I’m making some new buttons [...]

A sad day indeed
Today the ex-Lady Combustion moved out. Its been a couple months coming so it isn’t like it is a shock, but it made me far more sad than I thought it would. At one point I thought/hoped that I would end up marrying her but sadly it didn’t work out. Combustion Manor is going to [...]
The many flavors of: Minor Threat – Out of Step
