(June 2022) Episode 416 is CIRCLE JERKS, one of the better-known punk bands from the early 80s SoCal scene. The first two recordings are a good blitz of minute-length rages. But I get the sense that a Circle Jerks record is something a prog rock-listening 80s college student might pull out to show he gets punk too, eliciting an eye roll from his roommate who collects Minor Threat and Bad Brains original pressings (this may or not be based on a true story).
