[koos]

So yesterday im lying on the couch with nothing to do and I turn on the radio. I tune into Tuks and after lisning to all the usual type of Music you have come to expect from them the dj plays seing double at the tripple rock from NOFX (bow) and then not long after Automatic form non other than the touring Lagwagon. I think its cool to hear this on the radio and luckely its a student station. I dont know why I feel slightly uncoumfertable with this. I think its my fear of everything I like becoming mainstream and then falling or rather then being catogarised in along with everything I HATE!! To ad to this I heard Barny Simon is doing some punk show on the infomous tuks, wich made me think. A while ago I went to that wendnesday speciall at Zeplins and there is Barny behind the clothing booth selling shirts, so I buy a Rancid shirt and get this look like what the fu@% are you buying this for look. Then I thought why is he hosting the show???

What do you guys think? Critism is welcome aswel as positive thoughts! Mabey even the whole +- 10 of us subscribed to this forum can talk about it.
Have a good day!

yeah man i totally agree with you its really good to hear bands that you know on the radio but at the same time its Shitty and as for Barney simons he's a total wanker man ive been to a show that he's hosted and to be totally honest i think he has to stick with his saying man ''if its too loud youre too old'' he sucks!

I think it was woodstock 3 that springbok nude girls were playing for "the last time" they were playing bubble gum on my boots and he came on and started singing with them and just fucked it up. I dont like him but I suppose he has done allot for S.A music but still I just cant like him!

Barney is just one of those pretentious bunch of ppl who hang out at the doors. I know this sounds like a harsh generalisation but its true. They will do whatever is "cool". And about hearing NOFX and lagwagon on the radio, I think it rocks... i also heard it who cares iff ppl here make it mainstream it doesnt change anything about the music or the band. It just meens less crap on the radio.

Ja dude its true. I watched this dvd called punk in london and since way back people have done it to be trendy. So I guess the weel is just turning AGAIN....

I hate it when they play punk on the radio... I get this crap feeling in my body...

Can't believe they played Nofx and Lagwagon on Tuks... I heard The Vandals on there a while ago but that was a cover so I didn't really care...

Ive got mixed feelings bout the whole matter, its good that they play punk (last night they played the new anti-flag song on tuks), its good to here some good tunes once in a while on the radio. The problem is that non-conforming seems to be the thing atm and punk music happens to play apart in the whole non-conforming thing, so there will be alot of posers out there for a while, but dont worry the fad will end, a new band like the black eyed peas will come out and all the sheep out there will follow them and they will be the new thing, and the true punk followers will be left alone....as it should be!!!!

goto go to biochemistry lata all
