It’s the Music Stupid #65 : San Francisco Art, New Wave & Punk Rock

[@NaomiBerezowsky-m8m]

Thanks for sharing that 70s punk nostalgia so graphically, I was able to imagine along as you described some of those old haunts… wild how under appreciated this channel is and others like it when you are carrying the torch after all these years in the way of your memories for these much more vibrant and inspired times in spaces of yesteryear and forgotten, mud flooded and paved, Americana. Some of these comments are shit talking this and I don’t know why anyone of substance least would ever find fault with your storytelling here…fuck I was enthralled, I long for the kind of freedom your reminiscing on actually witnessing- something I doubt future generations will ever know in the same magnitude. Sounds like an absolutely electric time to be living!

Between 1974 and 1980, the Residents were one of the most important and revolutionary bands on the planet. During that time they made about 7 essential albums. They also covered "Satisfaction" on a 45 that made Devo's version seem quite conservative in comparison. As for SVT, Jack Casady of the Jefferson Airplane was the bass player.

Tuxedo Moon? I always wish i could have seen them in San Fran back then...

[@oddmagnestandnes4462]

Meet the Residents changed my life when Ì was 20 in 1986

[@mikeknowles5848]

Love The Residents, I'm jealous of that Meet The Residents first pressing, it must be worth a fortune. But the greatest San Francisco band is certainly Deerhoof.

[@MarkDoyle-tt5sf]

When I wanted to clear a house party I would play the Residents Duck Stab. Everyone would leave except for my music buddy who got the Residents. Cool stuff in an Ono way.

[@joncaradies3155]

We must have been at a lot of the same shows ,back in the day ...... Fun times for sure !!!!!

[@mazzysmusic]

@@joncaradies3155 cool times 🥺

[@MarkDoyle-tt5sf]

Sublime! In the mix for drinking game. Such a great word😊

[@tonyhills2112]

Yes! I’ve been binge watching a lot of back episodes lately and Mazzy says “sublime” a lot!

[@mpmternst]

I loved Rather Ripped Records. We went to a lot of shows at the Keystone in Berkeley back in those days.

[@selwyn77]

Happy New Year Mazzy, and remember : Staying eight miles high eight days a week was never a link to longevity !

[@jameshakkinen5305]

When Hot Tuna broke up in 79 Jack Casady somehow managed to find himself playing bass in 415's SVT. An odd matchup I thought at the time, the other members younger and melodically punkier than his former bandmates. Nevertheless that devil of a man played his ass off during their short-lived existence.

[@andrewt4042]

Ron Nagle did “Marijuana Hell” on his solo album. Great tune.

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Interesting. Never heard of these bands. Enjoyed the video.

[@Boatzerama]

I saw the Residents a few years back, at the Roundhouse in Camden, London.

[@andrewmacdonald3667]

I enjoyed the documentary on The Residents that came out several years ago. But not their music so much. 🤔

[@traviswilliamsonesq.460]

I’m at 3:00 and I am so hoping to hear about the Nuns and the Avengers. I saw them perform a lot, and with Sex Pistols at Winterland.

[@mazzysmusic]

@@traviswilliamsonesq.460 not one of these five. Another time 🌟😵‍💫

[@birdy1numnum]

Sad. No Crime or Pink Section...I get the impression from Mazzy he wasn't "into" most of these bands...he was just geographically in the right place and the right age.

[@mazzysmusic]

@ I only showed five fucking bands. No I wasn’t into every band then but I saw most of them.

[@davidhoward3376]

I still have my original vinyl copy of Durocs...Good Stuff!

[@vincentcannata8340]

No Negativland?....I know, they're from Concord, not 'Frisco....

[@Grassrecords]

Great Video Mazzy, I know this is not the video to ask you this question. I been on Donald Byrd kick in the 3 months I don’t know much about him, can you talk about Donald Byrd in a future video. Thank you.

[@mazzysmusic]

I couldn’t do a deep dive but I probably have six Byrd albums

[@Grassrecords]

@@mazzysmusic Thats fine.

[@marksaleski9890]

Ambient?

[@Mfidelity]

Did you ever see The Avengers or The Nuns?

[@mazzysmusic]

@@Mfidelity yeah a bunch of times. And Crime

[@traviswilliamsonesq.460]

@@mazzysmusicme too.

[@Plextortion]

I think I delete more of your videos than I watch.

[@johnmiller3689]

How about delete them all and go away, why bother commenting? Please post the link for your amazing channel, we would all love to see your content. Oh, that's right, you don't have one

[@ianmoore4587]

Ok and your point is? 🤔

[@Onteo1]

Please hit like each time before you go

[@prossart35]

You can’t delete his KZbin videos

[@26Jorgeb]

What's with you?

[@7and12inchvinyl]

Very very PURE......pure junk

[@malcolmlawrence8978]

I saw Flipper in DC's 930 Club in the early 80s. Loud, abrasive, sloppy (possibly drunk, as I no doubt was). Great, great show. Crime was another fine SF band that I sadly did not see (DKs came around a lot....). Wasn't Minimal Man/Factrix SF based? Or Chrome - any way fun video - great time/city for music and culture.
