Skatepunk

The neighborhood kids watched two timeless punk rock classics today: the live Minor Threat video and The Great RocknRoll Swindle. They're way into the music, even if they don't completely understand the whole attitude thing, and why it's funny that they're sort of 'mall punks.' I guess it doesn't matter where they get the info about the bands, if they get it. So the last couple of days I've been trying to turn them onto bands they've never heard of: Descendents, D.O.A., Dag Nasty, Bad Brains, Los Olvidados, the Faction, Radio Birdman, Stiff Little Fingers, UK Subs, Warsaw, the Vibrators, the Big Boys, etc... They're pretty responsive to all the fast energetic stuff--a fun audience to share with. We'll be in the car a lot this next week on a skateboarding road trip, so there will be plenty of opportunity for more exposure to lots of music then, too.
