My crew in Kalamazoo was pretty tight with Ann Arbor folks through the 90s. We’d go to Ann Arbor for shows. The Ann Arbor crew would come to Kalamazoo and were kind of in awe of our lifestyle - like jumping fences to go swimming in peoples pools and sitting around a fire in the woods drinking beer - haha!

I wasn't connected with the house show scene. Everything at Blind Pig and Rick's seemed to be bad white-guy blues when I was there. Had to go to Detroit for good shows, which was really annoying when one wanted to drink. Fortunately, I had a 1983 Buick Le Sabre Limited, so I blended well.

Speaking of Texas punk, there’s a cornucopia of Texas punk reissues coming out soon. Kill From the Heart this month, Touch and Go’s reissuing the 3 Big Boys LPs and Matadors putting out PCPPEP, Annother Man’s Sac and Locust Abotion Technician.

I'm sure there are some other early punk band VU covers I heard before finding my way to the originals...The Modern Lovers and Stooges I picked up on pretty young, but the velvets took a little longer.

I lost all my records, most of my tapes, some CDs, and all my D&D-ish gaming stuff when my dad died when I was twenty-one. The good news is that somehow my dice stayed with me. I guess I prioritized the portable. Still have the original Crown Royal pouch I stole from my sister's secret liquor stash when I was like eight.

And my friends' high school band also played Sweet Jane. I probably heard all three version around the same time, in the mid-/late-seventies. I didn't hear the VU version until the eighties.
