Early KROQ perhaps - Rodney Bigenheimer. The ONLY punk show for quite a while.

Oh yeah! It was old home week for me. Sort of bittersweat since the period of the late 70's early 80's was so fantastic musically and that really hasn't been recreated with quite the same intensity. But, it is nice to know that aging punk rockers can still perform and still play some really great music.

It was also great to see some new talent. I love how inspired Arcade Fire is by early Brian Eno, Talking Heads and even a bit of Disco. It's fun to make those connections.
