Have some family moving there soon and thinking about packing up and moving myself. The music scene would be the most convincing point for me because i’m a drummer who has played in local bands where i’m at for a long time and would have to get involved with the scene there if I was to move so I’m glad to see this site.

John K.,

I’ve been looking for a digital/cd copy of CHUM for years. I have two cassettes of it, one getting quite warn. Do you have digital copies of all the songs on Chum? If so, is there anyway I can convince you to share them?

Please let me know:

I was at UF from 92-98. My favorite bands from that time were: What It Is, Bloom, Anklebiter, Mower, The Usuals, Less Than Jake, Subrosa, On Cloud Nine.

My elementary school friend Matt owned the Hardback for a while. I knew Becky from Ovarydose. The drummer from Bloom was always in the Science Library studying nuclear physics or something.

Used to love Big White Undies. Still have my cassette tape of them somewhere! I was there from 91-95. Of course I remember Sister Hazel. There’s one band that hasn’t been mentioned yet that I’d seen at The Florida Theatre and have their DVD still that I listen to once in a blue moon…The Dingo Fish.

Hey guys! heard about Russ Jonson. For the record, he was one of the best guitarist around and an honor to jam with..

You left out Unhinged, they must have played 100 shows in Gainesville. They played with the likes of Less Then Jake, Section 8 (greatest hardcore band ever), Hot Water Music (who you also neglected) and Sister Hazel.

I need #2 right now. As will as the Tone Unknown, Bumble
and Big White Undies. Don’t forget the Smegmas. The music scene in Gainesville was really something then. Hyde ‘n’ Zekes is still open. Chas has it down the road from Mac’s Hamburger.

Todd– Thanks so much dude. I have a few copies of our first CD and would be honored to get you one ASAP. Hit me up on facebook and I will get it done if Jon hasn’t already. Very recently there has been some whoreculture live music and video posted on youtube so go check it out and download it. I also have some killer live stuff if you want it!

Steven Curtis was the original singer for Whoreculture folks (though very short-lived stint). I think Joey pissed him off and he left (kidding?). This whole thread just cracked me up! Now it’s been reposted on Facebook so we’ll just see if it’s truly “the thread that will not die”. Best wishes to all my former homies! -ann t.
