Punk rock is an awesome thing. So are sheds. And so, from a blog devoted to sheds....
Like Punk rock, like sheds, then this is for you.
Cardiff based punk band Punks Not Dad have written a little ditty about their shed and what they get up to in it, the majority of the lyrics would ring true to many a sheddie and the tune will be a hit with sheddies of a certain age, I am more of a prod rock fan myself, but any songs that’s about sheds I will listen to.
So get your ripped readesheds TShirt on and start pogoing.
There’s a place where I wanna go
be on my own when I’m feeling low
Only place that I wanna be – ONLY PLACE WHERE A DAD CAN BE FREE!
If you want me - you know where to find me If you need me - you’ll know where to look – I’ll be…
In me shed - reading the paper
In me shed - stirring up some paint
In me shed - sorting out me jam jars
In me shed in me shed
In me shed - fixing a puncture
In me shed - oiling the lawnmower
In me shed - having a quiet fag
In me shed in me shed in me shed
Oh Miss Erin? Are you feeling better enough to schlep to Lawrence Kansas on a Sunday night?
tUB rING will be playing. And I love them. I love them. I love them so. www.myspace.com/tubring
The first time I saw them they were opening for LeATHERMØUTH and Mindless Self Indulgence. They had toured with Mindless before, but not much of the crowd really knew them. They started playing and within a minute the place went INSANE.
The second time I saw them was the next day. I bummed a ride with a friend to the next show, missed the headliner so I could catch the last train home, and went to work on Monday on three hours sleep. TOTALLY WORTH IT.
I was about to send this to my mom, thinking someone had posted it here when I realized she had sent it to me. Score one for Mom! Piano greats.
I just found The Proclaimers cover of "King of the Road" in our itunes. It's so darling I want to bite my toes. It's pretty faithful to the original version but the accents are at the same time so beautiful and so
wrong.
And I hope everyone saw this by now.
What Shir said. Brilliant stuff.
I heard about that on
YouTube
NPR. How cool!
What mainstream term would one use to categorize Violent Femmes? Alternative Rock?
College Rock? Post-Punk?
I don't think the term "Alternative" was in use during their heyday....
I think I've heard them labeled as Folk-Punk back in the day.

Close enough. You could also go for American Indie.
