If I hadn’t been so ragged out B and I could have stayed for more than the first four Mekons songs at the Starry Pluff in Berkeley last night, but what I heard sounded fantastic. I said to B, “What they’ve retained of the punk aesthetic is the ‘no wanking’ rule.” Everything was spare and tasty and their voices sounded great. Good thing ear at zoka was taping from the soundboard!
