Back in 1980 me and my friend Gary Mollica aka Nervo from the Jars managed a record store on Berkeley's infamous Telegraph Avenue. This was Universal Records, formerly the Music Faucet. This store was yer usual sleazy used record store with lotsa punk singles and punk rockers hanging out-guys like members of Fang, Flipper, Chrome, Crucifix and other celebs like Wild Man Fisher, Jonathan Richman, and of course locals such as the Young Adults, Jars, PsycoticPineapple the Saucers etc.
We had in store appearances by the Plasmatics, the Dickies, Killing Joke, the Angry Samoans, the GoGos, Siouxsie and the Banshees and others.
Anyway there was a 12 year old kid named Shawn who used to help us put records away in exchange for vinyl. We used to try to corupt him with the Residents and Throbbing Gristle but he mostly liked Blondie and new wave.
Imagine my surprize when I got an email from him last week! I want you to visit his blog for downloads and cool music-the Entroporium at http://www.entroporium.com/
