Ode

The Singles and Reality Bites soundtracks get too much credit. This is the real ode to the nineties.

Mallrats: Music From the Motion Picture. Amazon.com. Used.

Down

I grew up with Stephen.

We ended up living together in Syracuse.

I was surprised to see Girls Against Boys in his music collection. I should not have been.

Years earlier he had introduced me to The Soup Dragons.

I always forgot how similar our taste in music was.

Girls Against Boys - Freak*On*Ica. Princeton Record Exchange. Bargain punk.

Shelf Life

I felt like Girls Against Boys had a lengthy career. Lengthy for a post-hardcore band.

A quick search informed me that they are still together.

I suppose the key to longevity is the odd hiatus here and there.

Girls Against Boys - Sexy Sam/I'm From France. Princeton Record Exchange. Bargain punk.

He's Cool, He's Hip, He's Forty-Five

Sometime around 1993 or 1994 I owned a Girls Against Boys t-shirt.

I lost interest in them, and eventually the shirt as well.

Not my dad.

During the late nineties he could be seen around the house sporting my abandoned shirt.

I regained interest, and now I wonder if that shirt is still around.

Girls Against Boys - Nineties vs. Eighties. Long in the Tooth. Used.

Janney

It isn't so much a love/hate relationship. It's more along the lines of hot/cold.

I bought everything I could during high school. As was the case with most Dischord and Dischord-related output.

I saw them on the Second Stage at one of the Lollapaloozas that rolled through town.

And then I lost interest as the focus of my listening changed.

And regained interest as the focus of my listening changed.

And lost interest as the focus of my listening changed.

Buying and selling their output more times than I can recall.

They currently hold my interest. If for some reason they don't. They will again.

It's a good thing I no longer sell discs.

Girls Against Boys - House of GVSB. AKA Music. Bargain bin.
