[Ed. Note- This is 41/45 of rex’s top LPs of 2024]

Not that I give a damn about it, but the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame is situated in Cleveland, OH.

I went there once while visiting the city. It didn’t take me long to become agitated. The place is, not surprisingly, so skewed to the type of pandering performers I abhor. The only thing missing were copies of the financial statements of the enshrined artists…

Just sayin…

Small consolation however. It was great to visit another structure designed by the amazing architect I. M. Pei.

As well, one of my favourite bands from Cleveland has released one of my favourite albums this year.

At 10 songs totalling just 29 minutes, the LP stays true to it punk ethos. Just don’t expect this outfit to be enshrined in the Hall one day.

Here is “Running Through Campus”
