🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Reprovisional" by Fugazi →

Which song would you use to introduce yourself to someone new?

Always Fugazi. It's the ultimate test.

In other words not to get it wrong Pointless to walk, past time to run Secured under the weight of watchful eyes Lulled to sleep under clear, expansive skies

Somewhere in these prying hearts Conflicting history tears us apart and We hope we won't get what we deserve Behind the targets in front of all the people we serve

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "My Adidas" by Run-DMC →

What was the first album you ever bought? Pick your favorite song off that album.

I've answered this before the prompt connection system was in place, so will definitely share my first album again... Run DMC's Raising Hell -- the first cassette I bought with my own (10th birthday) money – purchased at K-Mart in Lockport, NY shortly after release in 1986.

Absolutely got me into hip hop and changed the direction of my life.

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "I'm the One" by Descendents →

What song reminds you of your first love?

With the benefit of hindsight, my first love wasn't until I met my wife. Everything before that was silly. Our first date was the Descendents, touring for this album in March of 1997. On our 20th wedding anniversary we saw the Descendents in Buffalo again. So yeah, this is our band. And yeah, I'm pretty lucky. 😍

🎶 Crucial Track for today: "Watch It Die" by Bad Religion →

Roadtrip shuffle... haven't listened to BR in awhile, but they always knew the state of affairs. 1993!

I saw a man on my big blue screen He ruled the world economy He said the rich would never concede But someday soon, he'll be put to sleep
