GUILTY PLEASURE: Early NOFX
Posted by Krist under GUILTY PLEASURE , MP3'S , MUSIC , MUSIC LINKS[7] Comments
So I thought I would do a little bit of a new segment called Guilty Pleasure, which is exactly what you think it is..
This time that little band from SF, NOFX. Known for Fat Mike’s whiney voice, wit and short songs, NOFX has been a huge guilty pleasure for me since I did my internship at their label, Fat Wreck Chords in college. One of the first bands to popularize Pop Punk and honestly, one of the funniest bands I have ever seen live.
I figured I would just feature some older NOFX songs that I am still psyched about when they come on my jukebox..
NOFX – She’s Gone from White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean .
NOFX – East Bay (Live) originally from Ribbed. Live version from I heard they suck live.
NOFX – Showerdays from Ribbed.
NoFX – Jeff Wears Birkenstocks from Punk in Drublic .
NoFX – Happy Guy from Punk in Drublic .
and one bside from that era..
NoFX – All of Me (cover song, 1931 Simons, popularized by Sinatra)

Great segment idea! I have so many of these, I refuse to even call them “guilty” anymore. They’re just pleasures!
Why should you feel guilty about liking a band that never pretended to be any more than it was, and also recorded a cover of “Straight Edge” ala Louis Armstrong? Brilliant.
More importantly, didn’t NOFX inspire the name of this whole frickin’ blog??? (Cuz you do punk things!)

I’m going to see NOFX and No Use for a Name with American Steel a week from Saturday! I feel no guilt liking (loving?) NOFX but apparently I should not advertise the fact that I still like NUFAN. From what I read in various places, they are sell outs, lame, and possibly not even punk anymore! Whatever, great melodies, great songs, I’ll be more than happy to see these bands again. Keep the new segment going and I’m sure I’ll see some bands that I am embarrassed to admit I like, though.

yes it’s true. nofx definitely inspired the name of the blog. for sure. and i guess I don’t feel too guilty about loving these bands. but still I did have to think of a name of this section..
and yes I would probably do one for nufan and maybe even every single other fat bad there ever was including 88 fingers louie. haha

Oops, apparently I’m seeing the Flatliners, not American Steel. News to me.

aren’t the flatliners like someone from fat’s new band? like someone from good riddance or something??
