"Barroom Hero" as shouted out gleefully by the lads in Dropkick Murphy's, one of my favorite songs to drink by, staggers its way through the speakers from a live forum, while Unwritten Law's "Lonesome" brings their rough and ready power pop and punk all the way from Melbourne, Australia! It gets a little too subdued toward the end here, and now that I'm already all fired up I've got no patience for this, but I do dig the song and you will too.

To try to describe everything here down the list would be fruitless so we'll concentrate on many of the real standouts which isn't to suggest the rest are worthless. Oh, what the fuck, there's nothing here that should be missed. No Use for a Name doing an almost inaudible live version of "Straight From The Jacket." whatever that's supposed to mean. How about "Straight From The Straight Jacket?" Less than Jake's "Liquor Store," another winner in the groovy tunes, horned-up and horny circuit.

Special appearances from the likes of Pennywise, The Amazing Crowns, Lit (though I personally can't stand them, but everyone else seems to like them so they were mentioned), H20 doing "Faster Than The World," courtesy of themselves of course, but another great band. And then there's an old one from Blink 182, who's actually not bad even aside from all their recent commercial attention, with "Dammit," recorded in L.A. from back in '97.

Definitely check out the Flogging Molly tune - the fightin' Irish presented in full force here doing "Every Dog Has It's Day" and recorded earlier this year. If you haven't heard this band, you're missing something pretty extraordinary!

The collection closes strongly, much as it began really, but here we end off with the likes of those nasty little she-male types, The Lunachicks - and you guys know I didn't mean anything by that "she-male" crack right? There's just too much here to try and cover in one sitting, and how can you actually sit through this anyway? I mean, the whole thing's live!

Bad Religion's new "Hear It," recorded from a recent European tour just smokes after a slow start, and it's good to hear 'em again in whatever capacity, and did someone say the Godfather's of Punk? Anti-Flag's "New Kind Of Army" closes the set in true unabashed fashion. The Pittsburgh natives plow through the masses like the steel city psychos they are, and while this one's really hard on the ears, hey, it's only rock and roll right?
