Just was saying this to the ol' lady the other day. I remember punk music mail order fliers, not only music but you had to order your Doc's from there too because no store had them. Underground was way underground before the interwebz.

Dookie is a nice album, not incredapunk it its delivery but still some good heavy pop. I never listen to anything else by them though. However I got it at age 13, what a perfect age for it to first hit you.
I do remember being like 7 and mom driving me to swim lessons and hearing that good riddance song on the radio all the time over and over and begging her to turn it off lol.

Thinking back on being a kid in the car...Mom played a lot of Lucinda Williams. I hate hate hated that to. Now thinking back on it, it's all stuck in my head and I want to hear "car wheels on a gravel road"
I hated all the folky country stuff growing up as its all my family would play. Then Grandma put on Black Dog by led zepplin and I realized there was some cool going on. Of course now I'm also pining for all this country music I heard all my life now. It's like I hated to be forced into hearing it, but now that I don't hear it ever I'm like where did it go?

There's a Joy Division cover band in Madison that does 1-2 shows a year. No keyboards, the singer is very good, but doesn't sound much like Ian Curtis. They are shaging incredible. It's heavy, bass-driven rock. I've never been a Joy Division fan, but this band takes all of the stuff that I don't like about JD, throws it away and turns it into something awesome.
Found some videos:

Not a fan of joy division, but to those who haven't. All go out and watch 24 Hour Party People.
Anyone have any advice on a Source Audio SA126 Bass Envelope Filter? It's not the Pro, or the Manta, just the regular ol' filter. My envelope filter search is nearing an end, and I'm thinking either SA (the Pro and Manta are a bit spendy) or the MXR Bass Envelope Filter. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
Mr. Hex Volt here! We have some rough unmastered demos at the soundcloud link in my signature, other than that an "official" release is in progress. We got the instrumental tracks down, just need to do some editing, then record vocals, then get mixed, mastered, artwork, yadda ... Believe you me, you guys will be the first to know when it's all DUNN.
We are not really Doom or Stoner, but may be of interest here due to the bass-drums-only no-guitar format, three parallel rigs, assloads of gnarly toobz distortion (14 tubes total in current live rig, with 4 strings for a tube-to-string ratio of 3.5:1!), etc..
Looks like the backline for ESG5 will be a Hartke LH1000 and a GK 810. Never played the GK before but the LH1000 is pretty similar to my Carvin I think, so should be somewhat familiar. I love the logistics of sharing a backline, but I hate playing gear that isn't mine 
That's right. That's how I got my first Doc Martens. Wow.
This is gonna date me even further, but I remember before you coukld find funky-colored hair dye in stores the people I ran with would bleach their hair out to platinum white, then they'd break open colored magic markers to get to the felt interior which was infused with colored ink, and rub it all over their hair.
I also knew people who would dissolve the dye out of different colored crepe paper in a bowl of water and dye their hair with that. Usually it would sweat off all down their face by the end of a show. Good times.

LH is clean, loud and loves pedals. Should be just fine. Kind of surprised that they're not using an SVT for that, or at least have one as an option for all of the dudes that are already using one.
And was it Adidas Spiders? I think they were called, had to have them when not rocking the Doc's LOL. Oh and untucked, buttoned all the way up dress shirts with paisleys on them when not rocking band shirts. LOL, nostalgia.
Kawai, I don't know if links are permitted, but just look on reverb for a gibson sg custom 74 faded white...
Or.. my "store" is the monke house.

Do the guitarists have set amps/cabs to play through too? I can just hear the grumble, grumble, rant, rave on that one.
I had some paisley shirts, since it's confession time and all. I got pretty into that psych revival scene in the 80s. Some called it "The Paisley Underground." Jeebuz. My first bands outside of straight punk bands were heavy 60s fuzzed out rave up garage rock ripoff artists.
But, Docs aside, I always wore lo-top Chuck Taylors. To this day I have a bout 10 pairs of 'em in different colors. Unfortunately, my feet and legs hurt so bad so often I can't really wear them anymore.
Still have two pairs of Docs too!
I'd like to issue a general apology to everyone here for my off topic rambling. It's just about the coolest corner of any internet forum I've ever been on and, goshdarnit, I've come to think of you people as friends.
I can certainly stick more to gear discussion, which I also dig. I feel like I take away too much from people who have actual gear-related comments and questions.
If anyone would rather I STFU more often, I promise I won't run off wailing like a girl.
I'll just sit quietly in front of my computer out of sight and sound of everyone and sob to myself like a full grown boss man.

Cab is backlined, amp is not. Can't make everyone happy. Would be great if everyone could use their own gear but that's just not feasible with something like this.
