Los Straitjackets are actually some musicians from Nashville.

I know. :-)

The Big Boys/Poison 13 in turn inspired Green River/Mudhoney (and out of them a side project called Monkeywrench was formed). The Seattle sludge comes from this.

Of course Poison 13 covered songs by 1960s Pacific Northwest band, The Sonics (songs like Strychnine and I think Psycho).

In an era (mid 1980s) when punk was going to hardcore, thrash, and speed metal, it was really radical to play SLOW songs (like Blank Generation and When I Was Young) and blues covers (Spoonful...).

Please, that is too close to CBS.

Much of the "problems" associated with the flux are because of wrongheaded decisions and a bullheaded insistance on defining the market rather than following it.

I was looking at the back of a 1982 British REISSUE of James Brown Live at the Apollo (from 1962) and there is a little "Home taping is killing the industry" logo. They are still making billions every year; nothing died.

Resale of OLD albums (I bought that one 'used') "kills" the industry as well because they don't see a dime off of those sales.
