When I need an energy boost this performance usually does the trick.

I love the way this video gets better and better as it goes along. I love seeing the interplay between Handsome Dick Manitoba and Ross the Boss near the end. Just pure rock and roll energy from an iconic time, location, and band.

V článku o #UKPunk1976 jsme Ramones jen zmínili. Teď přichází výpad. Debut Ramones (1976): čtrnáct skladeb, žádné čekání, dvě a půl minuty na píseň. Punk jako odmítnutí nadbytečného. Kytara jako motorová pila, basa jako pulz ulice. Deska, která nic nevysvětluje. Prostě stačí stisknout Play.

Dvě minuty. A jedeme.
