Notes on My Punk Rock Introduction
Wreckless Eric has a new album out today, a record called Leisureland that bristles with psychedelic garage band energy.
The album comes as a bit of a surprise — I honestly didn’t realize that Eric was still recording or that he’d wended his way through so many twists and turns of life. But I don’t want to focus so much on Eric — read Alexis Petridis’ piece in The Guardian for that — as I do on the record that introduced him to me in the first place, Live Stiffs Live, which featured two Eric songs and performances by Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Larry Wallis, and Ian Dury.
