[kj] (OT) Derf Scratch / Buzzcocks

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

91X too I believe in San Diego was better at times than KROQ. We used to be 
 able to get it at times up here in LA if it was a good day.

KROQ is  a different story (I even I know about it having lived in 
Massachusetts my  whole life). It is probably one of a handful of US commercial
stations  that ever play any real music (Boston's WBCN was another).

I've also heard (in the very late 80s, i think) Follow The Leaders, and  
Sanity on the radio (here in U.S.). Maybe Empire Song too. This was all  back 
when local station KroQ was playing this type of  music. The only station, 
at that.

Don't say "were"--the Buzzcocks are still together and touring.
Doubt they  ever had a song or album that charted in the US (although 
college radio  certianly played them--especially the song "Radio 9"
KJ had the songs  "Eighties", "LLB", "Millenium" and "Pandemonium" played 
on  the radio a little. Doubt any of their albums charted, except maybe  
Nightime.

Many of the Buzzcocks releases went top  40.

They were a very  likeable pop band ;)

Oh, I forgot--the Decendents (are they from around LA too?). Kind of like 
the  US version of the Buzzcocks, with about 1/1000 the recognition and 
record  sales (I just read that
"Harmony in my Head" was on the  UK charts).
