So Long Astoria

Well, I guess you always should do your research. On the topic of yesterday's blog post:




Skip to 9:00 to hear Kris Roe talk about the cover. I guess it's a little of column A and a little of column B! Clearly he has an appreciation for the original tone of the song, though I don't know that "Replacements sticker" or "Descendents sticker" carry the same weight as the line he actually used. The Replacements signed with a major and became a rock band, not that that's a bad thing, and the Descendents, while from the same early 80's LA scene as Black Flag, are more associated with pop-punk than the rebellion of hardcore. So I suppose he was just cycling through band names, not necessarily thinking about finding a perfect generational, cultural fit for "Deadhad".

C'est la vie.
