OFF: Blue Circle (was: Re: HW: Covers All Questions)

[Doug Pearson]

Damn!

It appears that my troll to draw out any lurking punk rockers met with no
success.  I never heard of the Blue Circle Cement Company, but I wonder if
Darby Crash had?  The Blue Circle was the logo for seminal L.A.
punk/proto-hardcore band The Germs (whose original drummer went on to join
the Go-Gos and whose guitarist went on to become fabulously wealthy by
becoming a sideman for a certain Seattle rock star who decided he'd rather
roll around on the stage than play guitar ... but I digress [further
digressions: Cleopatra records have released a Germs live album, and an
early Germs 7" was released by Iloki records, who released Hawkwind's
'California Brainstorm' some ten years later]).  There's a great version of
the Germs song "Land of Treason" recently recorded by ST37 that may or may
not be on their next album ... anyone who liked their cover of "No Fight In
The 80s" (a punk rock cover so obscure I don't know the original ... but
it's not like I own all the volumes of 'Killed By Death' or anything) ought
to like this one.
