[kj] American Hardcore documentary posted on YouTube

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Oh, and yes, while many were complaining about the DKs or Misfits 
absence, I was like, Hmm, well, what about G.I. -- they were there from 
the beginning and lasted pretty freaking long, including future members 
of Jawbox. Their total absence in the movie was very bizarre considering 
the long career theyhad, even well past the documentary's sort of 
artifical cut off date of 1986.

John Stabb is a pretty funny guy. I heard he did a cover of Fugazi's 
feminist song "Suggestion" -- but called it... er, "Erection"? Is that 
true? ("Why can't I walk down a street ... free of an erection...?) In 
that spirit, notice The Meatmen get no coverage in American HC the 
movie? Heh.
