Looks interesting, to me at least. Given the fact that the Candy Snatchers were the only band that really broke out of that scene, I don't know how interesting it would be to non-locals.

Someone told me a funny story recently about how the Candy Snatchers tried to steal their equipment so they beat them up. I wish I could remember who it was.

The Candy Snatchers might be the best live act I have ever seen. "Human Zoo" is still a flawless album after 15 years.

I went to junior high and high school with Larry. I knew him, but not well. My older sister was friends with him and the rest of his crew (the M.U.D. and Face Reality guys). He was always a nice guy, which I can't say for some of the rest of that crew. I remember seeing the Candy Snatchers on the cover of MRR in the '90s and being pretty blown away. I was way out of touch with punk rock at that point and had no idea anyone outside of Norfolk/VA Beach had even heard of them. I've still never heard a note of their music.

They're one of a handful of bands (3, 4 tops) that I am a completist over. I was obsessed for a while. Still holds up.

The posthumous record kinda sucks, though.

I'm gonna try to guess the other ones. Husker Du, Son Volt and Leatherface? And maybe Come?

I have just paid attention to your posts over the years. That's all. And I listened to Neko Case's Blacklisted this morning. I almost said her until I remembered that you don't like the more recent stuff she's done.

I swear this 'documentary' thing is only going to end when they get down to making them about the 'scene' of April 1991 in a house on 32nd Street...

I agree, it's ridiculous. I mean, fucking Norfolk? Get outta here.

Well, I fucking LOL'd when I watched the trailer and some girl said, and I quote,

"Something is going to happen in Norfolk at some point sooner or later".

Hahahhaha, what a profound statement.

I went to Norfolk once to see Screeching Weasel play at King's Head Inn. Some band called Germ Flux (from Richmond maybe?) opened. Show was very uneventful, but ehh, it was pop punk.

I think that I have all of them except for that Corn Sisters record. Is it good?
