Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

10. TSOLDance With Me

I think that record is in the top five of great records that came out of California. I never tire of that record. The musicianship on that is a level far above what most bands of that calibre – you know, that work in that genre – were capable of. The songwriting is very advanced, the lyrics are really cool and it was different than most of the records that were coming out at that time, certainly in that punk rock genre. I really appreciated that even then. I still listen to it all the time, I think it’s a great record. I wouldn’t change a thing on it. I never tire of it. I also really like the ‘Weathered Statues’ 7”, I think that’s really good too. Their first record’s good also. I listen to too much of them still.
