un fortunate?

since i've been back from va-ca (during which time i gained a new granddtr!), i've been listening to a burned cd-r i got from my middle dtr (the new baby's aunt) of a new foat wuth punkband that's apparently called, um, un fortunate. dunno much about these cats, but their 22-minute, 13-song disc presses a lot of those early-'80s, hyperfrenzied thrashoid punk-polka buttons, albeit in a _slightly_ more melodic way than lotsa classic hardcore 'n' with sardonic humor to boot -- in other words, these youngsters are mos def _not_ more post-green day "pop-punk" spew. (on a somewhat related note, was surprised to hear the damned's "smash it up" on ktcu during afternoon drivetime yesterday, and was reflecting on how britpunk always seemed more like a natch'l outgrowth of glam, where its nyc-cle counterpart was solidly rooted in stones / dylan / velvets.) always nice to hear good new homegrown boo-shee.

Congrats on the new kiddo. Great news that KTCU is still rockin' the way rockin' ought to be done. Ever hear the Damned version of Love's song called Alone Again Or?
Un Fortunate sounds interesting. Look for The Fort Worth Cats to play in FW in the near future.
Adios por ahora,
Kid
