God things are busy this week, hardly got time to organise a thought, nevermind some blogposts- here's a cracking tune from 1981 from Los Angeles punk band X, punky and punkish rather than screaming Californian hardcore. Ragged around the edges and arms aloft.
In This House That I Call Home

The song is very melodic and catchy. Not all that punk to me. It is very good though.
I love both their debut and follow up Wild Gift. The latter opened up their sound from the more chaotic debut Los Angeles - mind, that debut is high in my list of all time favorite albums. LA Punk definitely went in a direction I chose not to follow, but X remained fairly true to their sound and vision.
Those early albums were so good that I still root for these guys to this day. I will always find time to at least try new material, and that includes offshoot the Knitters and the solo albums of John and Exene. I have been rewarded many times through the years.
