The Descendents are one of my favorite bands ever! They are the best pop punk band of all time. I mean that very narrowly; they are, unlike for example the Ramones, Buzzcocks, or Dickies, ONLY a pop punk band. Not a poppy original-wave band, not melodic hardcore... just pop punk. And they’re the greatest ever to do it.

It’s funny you featured that album in this newsletter. My wife and I are embarking on the Amtrak Empire Builder from St Paul Minn. to Portland Ore. on Wednesday (we fly home). Why Amtrak? Short answer: we had a gift allowing us to do so, and it has been on our list to take that cross-country. But why now? Because Descendents were going to play in Portland on Saturday August 12th. Unfortunately, Milo had a mild heart attack about three weeks ago and so the show is rescheduled for next year. But we’re still going. Portland is fun! And we’re going to spend some time in Seattle too.
