Lots of Jazz lately. Fusion and Hard Bop. I've just been in that kind of mood. Yesterday morning I put on Television's Marquee Moon and just listened to it really indepth for probably like the first time though. Excellent songwriting, nice guitar excursions... But I realized something, Aside from the scene those guys came out of, that record dosen't have a lot to do with "punk" in a literal sense. Yet it seems to always get lumped in with punk. I know it's more of an aesthetic thing but still, I get the sense that these guys practiced and gave a damn when recording this thing. It even has pianos! Go figure...

[rubbarode]

Waiting Room by Fugazi (classic!) on KEXP online, great radio station!

I always placed post-punk a couple of years later, but that observation does make sense. I would even lump Talking Heads in there as well. I always thought of them as "post" punk even though they existed around the time same time as bands like the Ramones.
