the ninja turtles - fuck (year unknown) (punk rock)
hello! i hope this is allowed. today i have for you a punk rock album from a band called the ninja turtles. i have to assume this came out sometime between 2004-2007, as there is no exact date of release listed, but considering how young the band members look in the photos compared to now (as well as a shout out to "the class of 2005"), i think placing it in that ballpark is reasonable. this is track 09/09 on the self-titled album, and my personal favourite of the lot. in the description of the video i have included a bit more info, but not much more, as i really cant find anything about the band online. dominick mango appears to have an instagram account, but thats about it...

Mixtape - Completely Unknown
My father found this old, obscure punk playlist on YouTube. It's a collage of old 80s and possibly 70s punk music. Can't find the video anywhere, mostly because there are 100 other videos entitled: "80s obscure punk playlist". My father claimed the video had a couple of comments asking what certain songs in the aforementioned playlist were, but no answers from the poster. I've only identified the first two songs, those being "Sun Tan" by the Moderates and "Short Sharp Kick in the Teeth" by Close Rivals; the rest? Nothing.
I love this mixtape overall and want to share it to connect with anyone else who has likely heard any of the songs on this playlist. Also a fan of the random German song lol.

Splendid Isolation by Medium Medium lyrics
need help with the lyrics of this song i cant find them anywhere, ai cant transcribe it good enough, it either skips everything i dont understand or it doesn't make sense. And its such an important song that i listen to for years and i dont even know exactly what it says. Some native English speaker that knows medium medium could have better luck understanding. thank u!
