Here we go again. I somehow found myself on Post-Punk Oddities, a neat site with an appropriate title. Music from the era of anything goes. Everybody was sort of trying to figure it out. What was next after punk rock? They didn't necessarily outgrow it, they just wondered what was beyond the confines of three chords. Meanwhile, moshpits.
On the "B" pages over there I ran into Black Randy and the Metro Squad's "I Slept In An Arcade", which really hit the spot. It reminded me of how different they were. Listen to their first 45 "Trouble at the Cup" and keep in mind that it was released in 1978, on the same label as the Dils, the Avengers, and the Weirdos. Rhythm machines on a punk label? They didn't give a shit. Black Randy don't care.
