I'm going to do one of these, Murph. Like Jon, this might be my new favorite genre. Loved this!

Great, can't wait to see yours. Punk, new wave, heavy, folk...?

Well, so far I have this: The Dead Freds(1974): History's forgotten punks.

Sounds wonderful. An opportunity to create some super-quirky punk names in the vein of Richard Hell and the Voidoids. How do they feel about glam rockers? Hate or lust?

That later that month, she met Donka Shane while ordering an ice cream at the Old Barn Milk Bar. Shane was working the counter, and when he noticed “Lizard King” written in marker across Dixie’s head, he asked if she could sing. She said yes, even though she’d never sang a note in her life, and they quickly exchanged information. Story goes, they wrote I Don’t Wanna be a Rat Like That later that evening in Cabbie’s garage.

I'm drooling to learn more about this Garage phenomenon.

Actually, I might need to take this back even further. Might be 65 or something. Still working it out.

Review Fiction is my new favourite thing.

Looking forward to yours - an Umbranox album revealing the true purpose of the Old Ones, maybe?

Thanks BV, it's an avenue I'm hoping to explore more. I imagine also you know the Stanislaw Lem book of prefaces to imaginary books. I'll always remember "Gigamesh" the Joycean sci-fi version of the ancient myth that was maybe created by an AI.
