The Click - I'm a big fan of either single (four-song 7" and five-song 12") by the Click For Against - any album, but particularly the first two (Echelons & December) The Millions - Raquel Mercy Rule - Flat Black Chronicles (although the others aren't bad) 13 Nightmares - Shitride The Self-Righteous Brothers - Tastee Linoma I compilation Shithook - When a Boyscout Gets The Blues Sideshow first album (the second one ain't bad, either) New Brass Guns - White Dress tape There's also a rare Baby Hotline tape called "Boxman get a new forehead." I've never owned it myself, and always wanted to. It's from '85 or so. Baby Hotline was THE SHIT back in the day. I mean they ruled the scene completely. Power of the Spoken Word's album from '85 or so is also an important milestone, as I think it was the first full-length 12-inch album to come out of the Lincoln punk scene. Never my cup of tea, though. Thomas was also a member of Bonechina, and can occasionally be seen playing solo shows.

From Thomas Irvin: little known fact: the "Terrence" in Julian's name is thought to come from Terry Pieper (The Boys, The Black Dahlias), whom Julian's parents knew. If I remember correctly, his parents weren't sure they got the Terrance from Terry, but they think they did. The Winston comes from John Lennon's (original) middle name.
