Markey and Schwartz
The other day I was over at Track 16 at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, and two guys were hanging a show that opens this weekend that I know you’ll want to see for a number of reasons.
1.We Got Power: We Survived the Pit! is debuting in conjunction with a new book about punk in the 80s in southern California. Co-curators/co-authors Dave Markey and Jordan Schwartz ran a fanzine here “back in the day” in celebration of punk, after meeting over skateboards. Markey’s band even toured with the legendary Black Flag. Ahh, the good old early eighties, when publishing meant Letraset and typewriters and exacto knives–and music was head-banging loud. You know you’re getting old when “nostalgia” and “punk” are used in the same sentence.
Black Flag in Redondo Beach, 1982
2. You can see pictures of Henry Rollins back when he was young and even hotter than he is now. (Look close at the abs in the photo above!)
3. You can hear the bands Adolescents, Saccharine Trust, The Last, White Flag, & Dead Issue performing live.
4. Perhaps most of all, you can visit Track 16 for one of the last times, ever. You may have heard a swath of Bergamot Station is about to get knocked down. The good news is they’re extending the Expo line. The crummy news is that Track 16 has to be sacrificed for that to happen. There’s some punk-era-related metaphor here, I am sure, but it’s too hot.
In the same week I learned that the master of dissonance known as John Cage is from LA, I got a glimpse of punk’s formative days in our fair city. How can you not love LA?
Opening Saturday, September 8th from 6-11pm/show through October 6th
Oh, and for all you Rollins fans who’ve made it this far in the post: Here’s my interview with him back when his latest book came out:
"You know you’re getting old when “nostalgia” and “punk” are used in the same sentence.", I love this sentence, something inside me is stirring every time I hear those words. I heard about Henry a few days ago and I did a research and man, how he had changed these past years.

Thanks for the tips on credit repair on your blog. The things i would advice people will be to give up this mentality that they can buy at this point and pay back later. As being a society all of us tend to make this happen for many factors. This includes holidays, furniture, and also items we’d like. However, you should separate your wants from all the needs. If you are working to fix your credit score you have to make some trade-offs. For example you’ll be able to shop online to save money or you can check out second hand outlets instead of high-priced department stores intended for clothing.

If a person’s computer is unable to handle additional memory and also the newest application requires that storage increase, it can be the time to buy a new Computer. Thanks
