My musical taste is eclectic, but punk is not my genre. I love the idea of punk and most of the politics and aesthetics of the culture. But the music rarely does it for me. The list of punk bands I like is very short, and usually includes an interesting cultural backstory. So here it is.

I listened to so much music last week I can’t begin to do it all justice. It’s the 20th anniversary of Pickathon, the festival in the woods outside of Portland and this is the first year I’m going. I checked out all the bands and came up with a list of literally dozens that I want to see, but today I’ll just mention HARAM and Marisa Anderson. I usually don’t pay attention to rereleases, but in the last week remastered versions of two albums I love (by Dynfari and Mouth of the Architect) were released. And I got caught up on the Bandcamp blog, which exposed me to Pod Blotz and Consider the Source.
