STARE AT THE WALLS!

All intense-lyric-quoting aside, Scott, if you haven't heard the 82 demos (which feature songs that span every post-Damaged album sans Family Man, The Process of Weeding Out and In My Head) I really recommend them, if only to hear the My War songs performed with an actual bassist.

Also they still had the lineup of Dez on rhythm and Ginn on lead, which allowed Ginn to explore his Ornette-worshiping stratospheres at any given time. You can find the demos through a rough combination of words in a Google search.

I also wrote a bit about them and also how Black Flag have sort of exquisitely destroyed my life in general.

Somehow I've managed to have never listened to a Black Flag record. Something tells me the time has passed for an effective first listen, which I suspect is a shame.

Knowing what I do of your current tastes and listening habits, in a way I think you're right. In fact a couple of the albums listed above were new to me this week. I have a longer post gestating about all of them (and Damaged and some Rollins Band stuff). I have sort of a strange listening relationship wrt Rollins/Black Flag.
