N...

I got to looking through the ol' records and began to think, "I never really loved an 'N' band." The latter half of the alphabet is all good, I can tell you all about that in future weeks, but I can't say I downright get stoked for bands whose names start with "N." No Use For a Name? Nirvana? Names for Graves? (Love that shit, but I can't homer here.) No for an Answer? Negative Approach? Negative FX? Nada Surf?

Nothing was pumping my nads hard, until I flipped through the itunes and recalled--Naked Raygun. Go jam any of their 80 million records and you'll understand why the midwest had punk rock on lockdown for such a long stint. My personal favorite track is "Treason" off of the Understand LP. Get into that and then go download all the NUFAN records you can muster.
