If anyone's hip to some 'core, check out Something I Learned Today for this wild live-on-the-radio F.U.s gig from 1984 ... it rips truly. The setlist is primarily taken off their Do We Really Want To Hurt You and My America LPs, which I've never heard before, and they've traded in the epileptic spazz of 1982's Kill For Christ for a leaner, though still punishing, velocity (but I could do without the weak Grand Funk Railroad cover). The F.U.s morphed further into "mature" rock styles and changed their name to Straw Dogs in 1985 ... but I barely know the story, so check out FU guitarist Steve Grimes telling it like it was, and is.
