May 28: Various Artists - Suckapunch Records: Hit 'Em Where it Counts

May 30: The Replacements - Let it Be
May 31: Electric Six - Fire
Best album: (tie) Electric Six and Sugarcult
Worst album: Bad Religion - The Gray Race
Things to ponder about my May selection:
1) Why did they call themselves "Offspring" on the first album, then switch to "The Offspring" after that?
2) Are the Presidents, the Replacements and Falcon Five-O really punk?
3) Who the hell has my copy of Green Day's Nimrod? Seriously, if you have it, would you return it to me?
4) How could I do a punk month without the Sex Pistols, Black Flag, the Clash, or the Buzzcocks?
I've got to get through some recent purchases, then I'm doing something a little different for the rest of June. I've pulled out a selection of "what-the-hell?" discs. These are albums that I can't believe I actually own. After I listen to 'em, they're going to either get a "keep" or a "sell." Then at the end of June, I'm making a pilgrimage to Waterloo to trade in some CDs. If you'd like to join me, drop me an e-mail. We'll carpool.
