I apologize to Martin Sargent. I just saw the most recent episode of Tekzilla where Patrick is Flaunting his Minor Threat records and I now have a new rev 3 idol. Not only does Patrick know everything I don't, about everything, but he also listens to punk? That's totally awesome in my book. Here's hoping he'll make a Circle Jerks reference in the next episode!

He has made plenty a reference to Flogging Molly and Black Flag, but I don't think I have ever heard him mention Circle Jerks. I have been watching him on verious shows for years.

Pretty cool stuff. Flogging Molly's guitarist and I went to the same high school.
I thought I had more to say, but I guess not.

He should do an ep of Tekzilla or Systm showing geeks how they too can have sex at least once a year without having to pay for it.
It would save me a ton of money. Can Sex be Open Source/GNU?

how many punks does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
two. one to screw it in and the other to proclaim "that's so punk"

Three: and a third to call the first one a poser for using a compact florescent and not a "Old School" incandescent light bulb and then scream Oi and kick him in the head.

I knew Patrick had a good taste in music because all of the Black Flag references it was just really ironic with the reissued Minor Threat LP being pulled off the platter because I had "Salad Days" playing in the background when I was working (and watching).
If you like old punk (or as I call it good punk) check out http://www.punkvinyl.com a friend of mine MXV who has the most extensive pre-'90 punk collection all on vinyl I have ever seen or heard. It all started back in the 80's with his zine "Spontaneous Combustion" that turned into a record label (released some JFA and recently release the original Government Issue Demo tape on vinyl) then onto the web..... He also has "Live From Combustion Manor" (http://radio.punkvinyl.com) and podcast/radio show where a group of old punks get together play records and get drunk.
I miss those days (well at least what I remember from those days).

I'm pretty sure Martin makes a lot of references to circle jerking.

For the record, Patrick also plays bass guitar and used to be in a punk band in his younger days. If you notice, the white guitar hanging over the three plush monsters on the Tekzilla set is a bass. One can hypothesize if that bass belongs to said Patrick Norton or was just a prop bought cheap at a local flea market / pawn shop. Henry Rollins would be a great guest host. Hell, everybody else is getting a chance to guest host.
