<p>I know we&#8217;ve <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.kexp.org/blog/2008/01/03/review-revue-helmet-meantime/">already covered</a> Helmet in this space, but I think these rock-purveyors are more than eligible for multiple album attention.  Besides, Strap it on is one of those albums that helped get me through my teenage years.  Glad to hear I wasn&#8217;t the only one loving its thick, bludgeoning layers of guitars.</p>

<td>&#8220;KCMU welcomes to the OK Hotel on Wed, 3/6/91 w/Cop Shoot Cop &#038; <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.kexp.org/blog/2007/10/18/review-revue-seaweed-despised/">Seaweed</a>.  ALL AGES!&#8221;  [Man, there is so much awesomeness and history contained in those two sentences.]</p>
<p>&#8220;Fairly harsh but not quite as harsh as lots of other bands on [Amphetamine Reptile].  On a 1-5, I give it a 3.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I once saw a band called the &#8216;Strap-Ons&#8217; play with the Hard Ons and <a target="_blank" href="http://blog.kexp.org/blog/2007/11/22/review-revue-the-lime-spiders-the-cave-comes-alive/">Lime Spiders</a>, which has nothing to do with this &#8216;cept they are both good.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And the Hard Ons played with the Wet Ones&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Black Sab homage.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;To me that&#8217;s a compliment.  To you?  I guess not&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yo man!  I&#8217;m back to back with this one &#038; the Dust Devils &#8212; long [illegible] Noise.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Wow &#8212; &#8216;Black top&#8217; is awesomely heavy.  Great groove!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what I was going to say.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Dave Ehrich [?] &#8212; check this out (features a former member of Band of Susans, Page) &#8212; &#038; it ROCKS!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I like #4 a lot, too.  Wish 2-3 wasn&#8217;t a red dot &#8212; it&#8217;s really cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They were incredibly tight live and much better.  They look only about 19.&#8221;</td>
