Happy New Year everyone!Hey, ever wonder why Jonathan Richman ran for the hills after recording great songs like "she cracked" and "hospital" and "pablo picasso"? Me too! That first album has such great stuff on it and it arguably was a driving force in the earliest of punk days: my old buddy Chuck Vaughan called it "proto-punk" when he first turned me on to it many years ago.

saw Great Northern last night at The Spaceland. it's been a full year and half since i've seen these guys play and man did they just blow the roof off. they were good back when they started and they've just grown so much since then. made Division Day seem like over-excited children. Get Great Northern's album on Eenie Meenie Records when it comes out (May, i think), and go see them if they're
