Monkey are really nice guys. I talked to the drummer all about music when they played some house show in Sterling, VA. Speaking of which Mike Park is also a nice guy, so I guess it's nice guys all around.

Rock on,

you're a fucking moron. Their drummer especially, Micah, is top notch.

They were great and I hate that she's gone. Bravo to Mr. Park.

You know, i heard about her passing from the asian man email newsletter. i remember that day, cos i was frantically checking every source i could, to find out if it was some sort of joke...but aside from that email--which, don't get me wrong, was pretty authoritative--and a small blurb on wikipedia about her death, i couldn't find anything. that led me to post the news story here.

i remember feeling like more should have been done in her memory. granted, i'm some random person in colorado, what am i expecting?

i'm glad to see mike's doing this. the few times i got to see skankin' pickle, and the fewer times i got to talk to her, are amazing memories.

thanks, mike. you are awesome.

good for mike for putting this together, lynette was great and her death was a sad loss for her fans..skankin pickle and 78rmps wouldnt have been the same without her. also, it'd be really cool to see video of this show..monkey are a talented and nice group of guys..i'd like to see them and mike's take on the skankin pickle tunes..

As usual, the line for "best dudes in punk rock" starts behind Mike Park.

Jack Terricloth has back cuts.

i think he would vigorously disagree with that. or more likely he'd do enough drugs that he'd forget you said that.
