Video: ENDEAVOR & LIFETIME in New Brunswick, NJ, 11/22/1997

This is really good and a perfect snapshot of the hardcore scene in the mid 1990s! 
LIFETIME have been one of my favorite bands for the past 30 years, after meeting them randomly on the streets of Ann Arbor, near the University of Michigan campus, back in 1992. They were on tour for the "Background" album that was just released on New Age Records and were playing that night in Detroit. They had the BOUNCING SOULS along with them on tour, and they had only a demo tape out at this point, "What Doesn't Kill Us Only Makes Us Stronger." At least that's the title of the demo tape as I remember it, though their discogs page calls it something else. But I digress.  I bought a t-shirt and the "Background" album on vinyl from the LIFETIME guys, and the demo tape from the BOUNCING SOULS.
This started a casual friendship with the guitarist of LIFETIME, Dr. Dan and I.  A solid dude who has done a lot for the hardcore scene over the past 30+ years. I've seen his many bands (LIFETIME, KID DYNAMITE, PAINT IT BLACK) play all over the country since that day!

What a beautiful time to be alive!

Video: "The Metapod: Strange UFO Over Bogota, Colombia"

The Metapod it's been named.
This is absolutely beautiful!
I have a strong feeling that this is interdimensional.

Audio: The Clash "The Lost 1978 Studio E P"

This is great!!  

Hot damn! I've never heard a few of these versions before!
The sped up version of "The Prisoner" is incredible!  As is this version of "White Man in Hammersmith Palais!" And "Stay Free" doesn't have the second guitar, the lead guitar, in it. I think this is the version from "Rude Boy" movie,
So awesome! Get into it!
