I've Got That PMA

Yup, Sunday is Keepin it Posi Day! When you talk about Positive Hardcore, there's no way of not mentioning Good Clean Fun. Hitting the scene in 1997 they sought to bring positivity and fun to the scene. They sang about serious issues like Straight Edge, Veganism, The Hardcore Scene, and Positive Living but with a sense of humor. Good Clean Fun "broke up" in 2002. I say "broke up" because it's sort of a long running joke that they've kept going for this whole decade. Here's the song that explains what i'm talking about...

I can't wait:

Looking back now the summer of '88
When hardcore was young and the shows were great
The sky was the limit, the world was our stage
The future so bright we had to wear shades

I can't wait until two thousand ten
So we can relearn these songs and play them again and again!

I long for the days after we've had our fun
When we will look back on what we have done
We'll remember the dreams and all that it meant
But all the memories in the world, they can't pay the rent

Two thousand one: we'll call it quits the band will be done
Two thousand two: we'll sell our discography to you
Two thousand three: we'll sit back and we'll count our money
Two thousand four: two words "Reunion tour!"

...They've kept their word so far on everything and now they are putting out a Good Clean Fun Movie that will be out this summer.

Here's a great interview done way back in '01 by Punknews.org.

So in the words of GCF... "I can't be Posi alone!" So go check out everything i just mention check out their myspace. Buy albums. And wait for 2010
