I'm very fond of this CD, particularly the cover of "Institutionalized." I can only hope that the interviews, however, were an attempt to poke fun at posers - skip 'em. The lounge-style covers of venerable punk tunes actually works, though.

great album. it is in my cd player every other day. when im just in the mood to relax to some great lounge music these are the guys. just wish they had more albums.

Funny CD - Great cover tunes. Punk gone lounge - Too much interview material though.

Black Velvet Flag were a great band that were doing comedic lounge covers of classic punks songs...long before this Richard Cheese fellow came along and picked up the shtick. They were amazing live and this recording is excellent! The other reviews here complain of the interview tidbits-those are all paradies of the interviews in the documentary film Decline of Western Civilization, which the name and cover of this recording are mocking. It's brilliant. I've never gotten tired of this. I wish they were still around.

A loungey remake of old punk songs that makes me feel like Old Blue eyes when I am singing them.

If you have seen the documentary, The Decline of Western Civilization, which covered the LA punk rock scene around 1982 or so, or heard the sound track, you MUST buy this CD. Take all those classic songs, and the clips of them talking with the bands, and fans, then, shake it with a huge dose of retro-lounge, and you get this CD.

For those of you into the old LA hardcore bands, this CD will be a joy. You have to love the re-working of the interview with the Germ's manager.

So, if you love punk rock, or enjoyed Decline, get this CD. You will not regret it.

This album is a must have for any ageing punk rocker who might be settling down just a bit. Some punk rock classics sung Vegas complete with the Chi-Chas (Check out Instituanalized) Covers from the likes of Social D, and of coarse Black Flag. If your are into the swing scene this will be a blast also.

Quite possibly the worst CD I've ever heard..No actually the worst cd I ever heard.
There is no rhythm, no rhyme, no talent, on a scale of one to ten I give it a 1 for coming up with the idea..but the musical KAPOW never quite happened. There is too much time spent on interviews...more than likely to fill the otherwise hollow tracks..and the band..and the singer. Just say NO!
I hated this cd so much that I should just give it for free to the first person who wants it however I feel so strongly about the quality of it that I refuse to do anything other than put on high in the microwave for fifteen minutes.

This is one of the worst CDs I've ever heard. Pure torture. I know it's supposed to be a joke but the singer's voice is so painfully off key that you'll be screaming for mercy after about 30 seconds. I'm sure glad I wasn't one of the six people in the audience the day this was recorded. Just horrible.
