Hi, I'm Nobu and these are some of my favorite songs~a never ending mixtape. Dance, slam, chill...hell, click your fingers while kickin' back in the futon, if that's what you're into. And, YES, buy the music! Support the band! Liner notes, record jackets and smokey clubs ARE cool!

POL POT!!!

(sorta) Hardcore Friday.


DJ Lebowitz
Holiday In Cambodia
Beautiful Happiness comp LP
Shigaku/Sounds 1988

As he points out on his site, no, he is not a DJ, but the "ROCKINEST PIANO PLAYER IN THE WORLD." Still active, DJ Lebowitz plays bars in the Bay Area, belting out instrumental piano versions of, uh, classics by 7 Seconds (Racism Sucks), Ramones (Judy Is A Punk), Black Flag (Jealous Again)...according to him, he can whip out over 2000 covers.

Plus, he has originals.

This is one of his covers though, a Dead Kennedys tune. Taken off a compilation that Sounds, a long gone British rock weekly, put together. Though it seems to be marketed as a US/HC comp, post-punk prevails. Halo of Flies, Naked Raygun, Bullet LaVolta, Live Skull, Bastards...the only real HC is from Stikky (pre-Spazz) and the Disappointments.

A great, demented song from Art Phag also.
