Over at AA Vinyl Forum they asked: "What's Your Favorite
album title?"

I submitted the title on a compilation called

Ear Piercing Punk

But I don't know why you're using the stick on polkas.

One of the best acts I ever heard is Carl Finch's Brave Combo
from Denton (Home of Happiness) TX.

Brave Combo has quite few releases and they are performing
yet.

A good place to start with Brave Combo to get the flavor
of what they do is the "People Are Strange" polka with no
apologies whatsoever to Jim Morrison and the Doors.

Some consider this novelty music or satire. I consider
it the ability to arrange and play material in new ways to
make the listener hear in new ways.

But up here in Wisconsin, even here, the polka sometimes
takes a bad rap unless it is in an ethnic festival.

We'll talk about Richard Frank the "Punk Accordianist
who knows a million tunes" playing "I Was So Wasted" by Black Flag
at wedding receptions another day. :-)
