This one looks good too, not sure if you ever listened to NOMEANSNO.


No. I mean...NO! Always saw their name in Alternative Tentacles ads but never saw their albums except for the Jello Biafra collaboration. They do seem interesting...What's this -- They formed in 1979?! Whoa.

So far, the Sly book is hitting all the right bases. Lots of coy rejoinders to his own observations as well as plain English recollections.


Ordered both books. I highly recommend checking out NMN. Start with their 1989 LP 'Wrong', but their whole catalogue is killer.

Being Canadian, I saw them live several times in the 90s and early 00s, they were their own hybrid of punk, jazz, hardcore and madness. They closed up shop several years ago, but I think new reissues of their Alternative Tentacles LPs are coming this year.

Also they had a side project called Hanson Brothers, which was in tribute to both Ramones and the film Slap Shot. It sounds goofy on paper, but they were able to play Ramones style punk in a way that no one else dared.

This is their 1st LP from 1991 'Gross Misconduct' (the artwork being their take on 'Road to Ruin'. All the songs are about hockey, love and beer.
