I have a box of old music, cassettes, cds, vinyl and I was going through it trying to justify why it takes up space. Many amazing things in the box. Like a band in Chicago that my group found out by chance, through the great Matt Suhar who took us to the store, Specimen Products, the owner and creative guitar and amplifier designer, Ian Schneller, had a band called Falstaff. Amazing compositions. Over the years I’ve heard a few creative punk rock experimental sounds, notably Helicopter by bloc party, amazing – but much earlier Falstaff raised that bar, radical ideas and making us laugh with the unexpected hidden tracks with bass clarinet solos (was that even what it was?) in Nothing Compares To U or the Melanie roller skate song. Top drawer.
