Henry Rollins: on the state of music today

They say that people in Hollywood are always nice to everyone [..]because they’re never certain whom they might be dealing with[..].

Well, we’re all in showbiz now [..] we’re always selling ourselves. We use social media to create a product — to create a brand — and the product is us. We treat ourselves like little businesses, something to be managed and promoted.

The self today is an entrepreneurial self, a self that’s packaged to be sold.

The Sonics - Psycho

Since we identified the first rock ‘n roll song a few days ago, now let’s check the first punk rock band. This is a RAW & NASTY production.

The Sonics have been called the first punk rock band and I’m not sure we should dispute this claim. Sure, The Velvet Underground, Stooges, and MC5 were more temperamentally simpatico with what became punk in the mid-’70s, but if you don’t think Gerry Roslie can trade punches with those mofos, you’re crazy. Keep in mind, this is 19-goddamn-65! Roslie’s scream is on par with Fogerty, Larry Parypa’s lead guitar is downright nasty, and how can you not love Bob Bennett’s drum fills? Do they even make punk rock bands like this anymore? If so, how about giving me a heads up?
