Rocket Fuel

  Last week, the  important and influential punk label Lookout Records annoucement that it will be no longer by the end of this year.   To pay tribute to this label that shaped not only the genre but the thousands of lives that listened to the tunes of bands they released records for such as Green Day, Operation Ivy, Screeching Weasel, The Queers and many more, I decided to dedicated this entire episode to the great music that it has released over the years.  You hear from some of the well known bands like the some listed above, but also some of the lesser known acts on Lookout that released gems such as Monsula, The Smugglers and The Hi-Fives.   What makes this tribute episode special is that Lookout co-founder Larry Livermore was kind enough to take some time out to be on the show. He talks about such topics as the rise and fall of Lookout, what his transition away from the label was like, how Green Day didn't live up to his expectations, what he thinks of the punk rock of today and
