Day 30: A song that reminds you of yourself

"We Became Snakes" - (1986)

All those confrontational, genre-busting bands who originally recorded for back in the 80s - , , , etc etc - did more to shape my aesthetic sense than any other group of artists, before/since. Saccharine Trust - with their awesome musicality, far reaching poetics, and deeply felt spirit - embodied that aesthetic like no other. This song reminds me not only of why I still love them so much, but why I still love all those slithering snakes (read: people) we writhe around with day-in/day-out.

Day 15c: A song you like that's a cover by another artist

"Waterloo Sunset" - (2005)

And finally: banjo/guitar/bodhrán master Glenn Michael Lockett aka Spot once gave us this wistful cover of the most beautiful London song ever. He passed away earlier this year, but I think about him every time I spin any of the dozens of records he produced for in the early 80s. RIP.

I'm out of gift articles but need to honor this man.
Glen Lockett, aka Spot, the amazing black musician behind the punk sound produced at SST Records. Gone too young at 71. Thank you for the music and rest in peace.

Still working my way through my haul. Found a copy of the first dos album, released via New Alliance Records in 1986. I love it when I find order forms. An out of print copy of Descendents’ Fat 7” EP cost $3.50. A near mint / very good New Alliance copy is on sale from a seller on Discogs for almost $450.
