A Reference Of Female-Fronted Punk Rock: 1977-89

I did a thread on this years ago on Twitter so I thought I would bring it here. This is a compilation I discovered in the early 2010s and I'm going to post each song from all 12(!) discs.

Very funny that “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” ends up on so many Halloween playlists by people who may not realize that it’s 9 minutes long.

November is a fine month in its own right but still a little sad that October is almost over.

Honestly it's a good thing there's no negative psychological consequences to everything being casinos and upsells everywhere you look, all the time, in all of society

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

Let's Learn about types of ghosts

A roughly drawn chart with large text at the top that says "recognizing ghost types" with a subtitle that says "there are many kinds of ghosts and we can learn about all of them, ok"

Then there are several drawings of different ghosts, mostly sheet ghosts of sorts
Rude - on a skateboard, flipping the bird
Discreet - wearing sunglasses and a hat
Long - long
Hunk - has handsome chiseled features
Forgotten Chores - is looking at a to do list
Satan - has horns
Pervert - has a giant foot
Melting - goop
Dad - has a mustache and wrinkles
Bird - has a beak and wings
Sultry - is laying down with a hand on its head
2 Parter - is cut in two horizontally
Freaky - a weird looking one that has arms and legs and giant eyes and a sideways mouth
Past Memory - inside a polaroid
Floating Head - you can figure this out, it's a severed head
Flat - i think you get the idea
tiny - very small, this is also self explanatory
mouth - mouth
video tape - a small ghost coming out of a tape
silly - wearing groucho glasses and has a fake arrow through head headband
And a big one in the center labeled "normal style"

Hell, 1977 is a perfect example of this. The height of the punk explosion and also the year of Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life.”

Pretty sure more than 250 people listened to Disintegration. 🙄

People need to stop retconning literally the worst era in American popular music history into something it wasn't, just because there were also some amazing records that like 250 people happened to be hunting down and listening to

Roughly 1978-1982 is my favorite era in music and just look at the mainstream charts! There’s shitty music in every era and experimental post-punk wasn’t exactly topping the Billboard 100. 😉

Fair enough but I disagree with that theory because I was a teen in…2001!

If we’re talking “favorite eras in music” mine is like 1978-1982 or something and if you look at the mainstream charts back then…
