\"Descendents
Descendents – Milo goes to college (NAR-012, 1982)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now this is THE ONE record that re-defined punk for me. Once and for all. Never to be the same again (and THE eyeopener that a much greater, diverse and fresher sound exists accross in the US of A).<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977 \u2013 not needed at all, this comes from the core that re-ignited punk.<\/em>
\npublished by a cool lable \u2013 damn yes, this is New Alliance Records (owned by The Minutemen’s D. Boon and Mike Watt), home to H\u00fcsker D\u00fc’s ground breaking “Land Speed Record”<\/em>
\nfound in a cool shop \u2013 ticked, Uli Rehberg imported this for Konneckschen in 1983!<\/em>
\ncatching sound \u2013 Yes, hardcore with the Californian smile – never been done smarter!<\/em>
\nnot too bad words \u2013 not too bad? They are fucking brilliant: personal, touchy and direct! And, punk to the bone, they are about love, endless love and painfull love! Heartbreaking!<\/em>
\ncollectors value \u2013 none, but a cover that defined a genre!<\/em><\/p>\n

Is there any value in rating the songs? Mhhh – “Suburban Home” and “Hope” are catchiest but “Bikeage” has the fuckin’ best lyrics:<\/p>\n

Running out of time again\r\nWhere did you go wrong this time?\r\nWhen your problems overwhelm you\r\nGo get drunk it's party time\r\nTake a quaalude, relax your mind\r\nRelax your body too\r\nRun from your problems but you'll never get away\r\nNo one loves you, and you wonder why?\r\n\r\nSitting there with your mouth full of beer\r\nYour eyes are glazed, your face is red\r\nWho's gonna pick you up and use you for tonight?\r\n\r\nWhen you're on the streets with a needle in your arm\r\nSelling your body for another fix\r\nWho's gonna pick you up and take you home with them tonight? \r\n\r\nYou're running out of breath again you're an old maid, you're only 15\r\nYou're losing your little girl's charm\r\nCry all night but you'll never get it back\r\nDon't be afraid, it's not too late\r\nSave yourself, I need you here\r\nWearing off, wearing out\r\nI can't think about this cause it makes me sick\r\n\r\nSitting there with your mouth full of beer\r\nYour eyes are glazed, your face is red\r\nWho's gonna pick you up and use you for tonight?\r\nNot me! Not me!\r\n\r\nWhen you're on the streets with a needle in your arm\r\nSelling your body for another fix\r\nWho's gonna pick you up and take you home with them tonight?\r\nNot me! Not me!\r\nNot me! Not me!Not me! Not me!\r\nNot me!<\/pre>\n
