39. Aburadako - 忍耐 (1983)

Should Hardcore Punk be cool, accessible, digestible? Should you make a podcast? Should you invite Stavros or Hasan, should we tell the Red Scare girlies? Should you run an ad before you play a song from a Havoc Records comp circa 2005? Should PBR sponsor your next show? Should you pay Zuck so your flier will shoot to the front of the algorithm? Should every show you play be the same 6 people reconstituted into different lineups playing the same way, disseminating the same "message?" Should you drive 9 hrs to the next big city, or cut the drive in half? Should you crowd fund your next 4 color T? Should bandcamp help you press a record? Can you add time spent booking at the local dive bar to your next resume? Can you get the weekend off from your app developer job to play the fest? Can your grandma's SS check foot the bill the next time you road dog for your friends' band? (Have you loaded in so much as a box of records on any of these tours?) Can you write "don't start a fucking band?" on your tape in sharpie? Should you skip the lyric sheet, lest a challenger approach? Does your mask match your bullet belt (best to leave behind, if not)? Does this striped pocket T make me look too egg? Do you wanna talk about this for another fucking decade?

Or should punk be for psychos by psychos?
