Greg Sage-Straight Ahead
Greg Sage was the lead singer/guitarist for seminal punk band the Wipers. In 1985, he put out this, "Straight Ahead," his first solo album. Rather more gloomy and down-beat than his main band, the songs are often gorgeous displays of post-punk moodiness married to a singer/songwriter sensibility. For a stylistic reference point, think Mekons.

Mekons? Who?
Greg Sage is soooo cool. I think this was posted by Kill Ugly Radio before, or possibly he's posted the follow up album. Anyways, good to see that other people like the god that is Mister Greg Sage! Do you also like the Wipers? In my opinion the best band ever...lol.
Just added a little namecheck on Totally Fluffy for your blog, good luck!

Thank you sir. Not aware of the Mekons? What a shame! Look into them immediately! And yes, the Wipers are amazing.
I believe Kill Ugly Radio posted the follow up album...I had a hell of a time finding this one.
Cool Beans. I am waiting on the download a while--and it had pop ups! Evil! Look into the share Phoenix Hairpins uses. I just switched there meseff.
Aha, thanks Fritz. I wasn't sure of that site myself, I'll definitely give the other one a go.
