It's funny cos I don't have any issues myself & was talking to Neil Davidson in The Halt last week when he said he'd check out if he had any issues. Turns out he has all 4, so hopefully I'll be able to get them off him soon.<BR/>You made some good points about how zines changed back then. I think it was the onset of the "emo" attitude & "sensitive" types that changed things. Pretty much like the music at the time, I suppose.<BR/>By the way, I heard years ago that Steve who did "666 1/2" died of an OD. I wrote to him for years (as I did with Trev HAGL) & he was a top bloke. You know, I kinda miss those days of writing letters to dudes in Mexico & soaping the stamps to within an inch of their lives!<BR/>Yeah, I've not been edge for many a year. I think Jaf may still be, though I've not seen him for a while.<BR/>I'm glad you're still writing for MRR & enjoy your wee delves into your days in Glasgow.<BR/>Better go now Allan. I just wanted to send you a little "hello" & thanks for making the girlfriend think I'm just a wee bit famous. Ha ha! Take care, dude.<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>AdamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33864244.post-13890054817221373132008-10-02T11:23:00.000-07:002008-10-02T11:23:00.000-07:00i meant to comment on this a while ago but… I did...i meant to comment on this a while ago but… I didn’t. I feel the same way about Agent Orange. They are a really great band even through their later flaccid period. If you ever see the Trans Megetti LP “fading Left to Completely on” you should really pick it up. I always thought of that record as a “LIVING IN DARKNESS” of the now-ish. Maybe now so much in sound but more in the way the record (“Fading Left…”) sorta transcends the normal punk LP.<BR/><BR/>Also, you mentioned Rat Patrol records one time recently and I wonder if you know that guy at all. I ordered $40 worth of stuff from him a year ago and the dude will not return email or anything. Do have any insight?tony partyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460574580812725238noreply@blogger.com
