Black Flag:Who’s Got The 10 1/2?
A BMF Review from February 3, 2016
This album did make BMF’s 28 Must Have Albums.
My favorite live album by far, this was recorded “on a starry night in Portland on August 23rf, 1985.”
This is punk rock in every sense of the word. The music and Henry’s volatile voice rage. The songs are perfectly played with on the spot improvising that are pure punk. Of course, the question, the album title, is the apex of the set during Slip it in and Gimme Gimme Gimme which is another favorite song on here, My War is awesome, Bastard in love, oh hell the whole album kicks ass! I wore this cassette out back in the day. Have it on cd too.
Other great snippets; ” Do you believe in the hereafter? Then you now know what I’m here after.” “Here’s a song about drinking and driving, it’s called ‘drinking and driving’”. All the songs are memorable and smashing awesome. This album is in my top ten of some list. This came with a folded SST records catalog, which I always love to look at.#57bmf4ever
