Sfogliando i vari noblogs ho scoperto Please Kill Me (http://pleasekillme.noblogs.org/) il blog di una trasmissione radiofonica in onda su radio citta’ Fujiko la domenica dalle 22.30 alle 23.30. Ho ascoltato la registrazione della puntata del 2 dicembre 2007 e mi sono divertito molto. La sigla del programma, ovvero  Sonic Reducer dei Dead Boys e’ un classico punk rock del ’77. Inoltre nel corso della trasmissione vengono fornite varie informazioni sulla scena punk, i luoghi in cui si e’ sviluppata, i protagonisti, i vari promotori dei gruppi, ed altro.

Estratto:

If you were in a band in 1975 or 1976, you had to be in what the ‘local
scene’ was at that time or there was nowhere to play. That’s why we started
the Mabuhay. There was nowhere for anybody to go. We had to create our
own place to hang out, so that’s what we did. Before Mabuhay I never hung
out in clubs because there wasn’t a club scene. With the Mabuhay, you
just went there. You didn’t care who was playing because you went to hang
out.–Jeff Rafael, Nuns

There was no music scene going on in San Francisco when me and my friend,
Steve, moved out here from St. Louis. We moved into this little apartment
by Cala Foods on Hyde Street. We couldn’t play in the apartment because
of complaints, so we would go down to Polk St. and play for tips. That’s
where I met Kowalsky and one of the guys from Crime, and other people
who later became part of the Mabuhay scene.– Jimmy Wilsey, Avengers

In the late Seventies before Punk, it was easier for record companies
to put out Donna Summer-type canned music, disco, "Love to Love You Baby"
kind of stuff. Club owners felt that as long as they could get people
to pay a door charge to dance, then why should they have to deal with
the expense of presenting live entertainment?

The places that had live bands were booking hippie bands, more or less.
When the Mabuhay opened its doors to people like the Ramones, Dammed,
Blondie and Wayne County, people who started out in New York, it was exciting
for everybody. There had to be more than just a handful of people who
didn’t want to go to discos. They had no other place to go, so this was
an opportunity. It help prove to the city that not everything had to be
canned music. Bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols came through
with a kind of rebellious sound. It was something new. It wasn’t the same
old Savoy Brown, Sixties kind of bar band. It was a relief not having
to hear, ‘Love to Love You Baby’.–Ginger Coyote
