A bunch of old school hardcore punk bands decided 2011 would be the best year to reunite, and who would I be to argue with them? Get excited people!

Germs: The Missing Link
As I've been researching the history of punk and metal, I find that many publications spew out the same history word-for-word. But after doing some digging of my own, I find a few anomalies that don't quite fit the chronology I've been told. The biggest one that comes to mind is an LA punk band called the Germs.

Prurient's 'Bermuda Drain'
I'm always amused when I discover a talented artist who's been around for over a decade, yet I've never heard of them. Apparently there's this guy named Ian Fernow who performs under the name Prurient and plays noisy electronic music. I've been a fan of noisy music for a while, so I'm surprised I've never heard of this solo artist before now.

Ship of Theseus: An Identity Crisis
As I amuse myself with this little blog, I notice that, while reading back, some of my posts incorporate a bit of philosophy. I'm a huge fan of philosophy and thought puzzles, so I thought I'd continue posting things like this. In this blog, I'll explore the classic Greek paradox known as The Ship of Theseus, and how it may related to listening to metal and punk music. When many founding members of a band leave, is it still the same band?
