• 16:38
  me. In that last block of music, I started out
• 16:40
  with a band called the Faction from San Jose.
• 16:43
  Anyone know who plays bass in the Faction? It's
• 16:46
  a dude named Steve Caballero. So this is from
• 16:48
  the early 80s. We played Room 101 from the Yesterday
• 16:51
  is Gone 7 -inch. And then I played a song from
• 16:53
  the Corpse in Disguise 7 -inch from the Faction
• 16:55
  also. What was that? I think it was Friends and
• 16:57
  Enemies. After that, we played some Battalion
• 16:59
  of Saints. That's from their split 7 -inch with
• 17:02
  SVDB on Mystic Records. Then we played The Freeze
• 17:07
  that was Violent Arrest from their Guilty Face
• 17:10
  7 -inch on Modern Method Records. Then we played
• 17:13
  some Fugazi and that was Joe Number One and Break
• 17:16
  In from I think their first 7 -inch. That's from
• 17:19
  1989. Sub Pop hand -printed edition of 2000 on
• 17:23
  Green Vinyl. I bought that record decades ago
• 17:26
  at Streetlight Records in San Jose. Last but
• 17:30
  not least there we played some Antipasti that
• 17:32
  was 1980. from the four sore points, seven inch.

• 41:47
  story from middle school. I was wearing a shirt
• 41:49
  of that album anthrax persistence of time the
• 41:52
  initials of persistence of time are POT So the
• 41:55
  shirt said pot And I got sent to the principal's
• 41:58
  office for that. But anyway, I don't even remember
• 42:01
  the outcome of that. I think they just said,
• 42:02
  hey, please don't wear that shirt again to school.
• 42:04
  But they didn't make me change. I know that.
• 42:07
  So yeah, I got to wear the shirt. Go Anthrax,
• 42:10
  who, by the way, I think released a new album
• 42:11
  recently. I know they released a new album recently.
• 42:14
  They're saying it's probably going to be their
• 42:15
  last studio album. I haven't heard it yet, but
• 42:17
  I've heard good things. So anyway, go check that
