Why CD101's Modern Rock History Month Rules
At 9:15 on Wednesday, I was driving home from the gym. Because of Front Stage 101, the top of the hour Modern Rock History block didn't start until then.
So with the year being 1980, what did they play? A double set of Dead Kennedys. When was the last time you heard them on commercial radio before midnight? When was the last time, period?
Good to hear California UberAlles and Holiday in Cambodia again. Reminds me of a guy I grew up with named Ben. Ben claims it was my fault for getting him into punk by getting him a Duran Duran record for his 7th birthday. Ben was pretty hardcore into it. He was in a band in college called...erm...well...this is a family blog... OK so I can't say what band he was in, but it has something to do with a certain activity requiring two men and a woman. Let your imagination run wild.
OK, back on topic. Ben used to sit near me in home room, and he knew all the punk. Used to listen to the university radio coming out of Philly and knew all about the Dead Kennedys...used to sing the songs. Had the Dickies and Buzzcocks t-shirts.
I hadn't thought about him in a while...it's very cool to have a band or song (esp. Holiday in Cambodia) bring back memories about a specific person. Unfortunatley, his name is so common, googling doesn't bring back anything relevant.... Maybe he'll see this and say hi :)

Good news for Mill Run Fry's
On Thursday I discovered two things.
The first was that my eye doctor has an office besides the one downtown. Now, I've been in Columbus over 8 years, moved several times. But it wasn't until I ended up talking to the eye doctor a bit more that I found out that they have a practice in Mill Run (5 minutes away).
Now, what's even more interesting is that the office is right next to Mill Run's old Big Bear store. Which if you've popped up in here by searching for Mill Run Fry's Marketplace means that you heard all of the rumors about a new store to replace the old Big Bear.
Apparently they are hard at work in there, the eye doc told me it's quite loud with hammering and such. So this is great news. It's a bit of a Mill Run rebirth, probably due to the new Home Depot and Target going in on the Hilliard just North of Mill Run. With finality that a Fry's, or just a Kroger Marketplace going in, the convienence factor of where I live just went up. The new California Fitness going in there might just help a bunch too.
So all around good news for the Fry's...errrr....Kroger Marketplace at Mill Run
