When I was a senior at UC Santa Barbara I had a mass media course and along with two friends in the class we put together music and slide show presentation focusing on the still emerging punk rock scene.

The final 90 seconds of the presentation had every picture we could find of punk musicians and fans flipping off the camera set to music by the <strong>Germs, Fear, Circle Jerks, X</strong> and others.
This song by UK indie pop/punkers, Pins, shows that 35 years later punk’s influence is still going strong and that middle fingers are still a useful form of communication.
San Diego’s Big Bloom unleash their inner Queen (well, at least in their apparel) in this psych/garage stomper set in some house party gone wrong!
Be sure to catch them at their next show on April 28 opening for Gone Baby Gone at Bar Pink.
Josh Kmak of The New Kinetics and Shady Francos has a new band, Creepseed. This video is from their debut performance at the Casbah. Joining Josh in Creepseed are O from fluff and the Makeup Sex, Josh from Shady Francos and Sheila & the Rainbow Colored Trash bags, and Ana from The Makeup Sex and Spin Records. Sitting in on this song is Brian Reilly of the New Kinetics on the right.
This video is just another reminder of why I love music. A great song played in a unique way in an unusual setting. San Diego’s Birdy Bardot play their song “Possibilities” while riding the trolley (with passengers on board of course!) in San Diego.
