Document 2: Roger McGuinn & Band: "Roger McGuinn & Band" has been reissued on CD a number of times; first by Columbia Records in the early 1990s, with bonus tracks in 2004 by Sundazed Records and coupled with McGuinn's fourth album, "Cardiff Rose", by BGO Records in 2007.
Document 3: The Velvet Underground: The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in 1964 in New York City by singer/guitarist Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise (replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965). The band was initially active between 1965 and 1973, and was briefly managed by the pop artist Andy Warhol, serving as the house band at the Factory and Warhol's "Exploding Plastic Inevitable" events from 1966 to 1967. Their debut album, "The Velvet Underground & Nico" (with German-born singer and model Nico), was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but has become critically acclaimed; in 2003, "Rolling Stone" called it the "most prophetic rock album ever made."
Document 4: Neo (album): Neo is a 1979 debut solo album by the American punk musician Ian North. It was recorded in 1978 in Ian Gillan's studio and released in 1979 by Aura Records. Although the album was released as a solo work of Ian North, he recorded it with three session musicians: Steve Byrd on guitar, John McCoy on drums and Bryson Graham on drums and they later formed Neo, as a "semi-band", because they were paid by North. Many songs were written by North while the band comprised him and the brothers Robin and Paul Simon. This line-up, the band's first played a gig during 1977. In early 1978, Robin Simon left to join Ultravox and, shortly afterwards, his brother Paul was sacked by North and joined Cowboys International.
Document 5: Phonograph record: In 1968, Reprise planned to release a series of 78 rpm singles from their artists on their label at the time, called the Reprise Speed Series. Only one disc actually saw release, Randy Newman's I Think It's Going to Rain Today, a track from his self-titled debut album (with The Beehive State on the flipside). Reprise did not proceed further with the series due to a lack of sales for the single, and a lack of general interest in the concept. Guitarist & vocalist Leon Redbone released a promotional 78 rpm record in 1978 featuring two songs (Alabama Jubilee and Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone) from his Champagne Charlie album. In 1980 Stiff Records in the United Kingdom issued a 78 by Joe "King" Carrasco containing the songs Buena (Spanish for "good," with the alternate spelling "Bueno" on the label) and Tuff Enuff. Underground comic cartoonist and 78 rpm record collector Robert Crumb released three discs with his Cheap Suit Serenaders in the 1980s.

The band went through four drummers, starting with Jay Derrah and ending with Aaron Smith. The band released three albums, "It's a Condition", "Benefactor" and "Instincts", along with one EP. They are best known for the songs "Never Say Never" and "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)"; the latter became a Top 40 pop single.
Document 7: Alex Bevan: The release of the album Springboard got him some public recognition due to the local hit song Skinny Little Boy. In 1977 he performed on the air on Cleveland's WMMS Radio with a band called Alex Bevan and the Buzzard Band, featuring DJ Matt the Cat on guitar. He performed in the mid-1970s with an acoustic trio consisting of two guitars and electric bass, and opened for such acts as Seals and Crofts, The Michael Stanley Band, The Doobie Brothers and Hall & Oates. He soon added David Krauss from the band Tiny Alice to the group, supplying percussion and harmonica. They toured either under the name Grand River Band or Alex Bevan and Friends from 1979 until 1981, and produced the albums The Grand River Lullaby, Alex Bevan and Friends Live, and Simple Things Done Well. In the early 80's Bevan produced the direct - to - disk digital solo album Tales of the Low Tech Troubadour Vol. 1. He played in the band Alex Bevan & Cuttlefish from 1984 through 1986. In the late 80s to early 90s, he produced the albums Best Kept Secrets, Cuttlefish Live, and Watersongs.

Document 9: Volume 2 (Reagan Youth album): Volume 2 is the second album by punk band Reagan Youth. The group began working on the record after its decision to disband, and its songs represent material written throughout the band's ten-year initial career.

Document 10: Descendents discography: The Descendents' initial lineup of Frank Navetta (guitar), Tony Lombardo (bass guitar), and Bill Stevenson (drums) released the band's first single, "Ride the Wild" / "It's a Hectic World" in 1979. Adding singer Milo Aukerman, they next released the "Fat EP" in 1981 and their debut album "Milo Goes to College" in 1982 through SST Records. The band took a hiatus during Aukerman's collegiate studies, reconvening in 1985 for "I Don't Want to Grow Up" with guitarist Ray Cooper replacing Navetta. That same year New Alliance issued the compilation "Bonus Fat", combining the "Fat EP" with the band's first single. Doug Carrion had replaced Lombardo by 1986's "Enjoy!", but both he and Cooper soon left the band and were replaced by Karl Alvarez and Stephen Egerton, respectively.
Document 11: The Damned Things: The Damned Things are an American rock supergroup consisting of Fall Out Boy's Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley, Anthrax's Scott Ian, Every Time I Die's Keith Buckley, and Alkaline Trio's Dan Andriano. The band's name is inspired by the lyrics in Ram Jam's 1977 version of "Black Betty".
Document 12: Romeo Void: Romeo Void's best known song is ``Never Say Never '', which contains the famous line`` I might like you better if we slept together.'' Allmusic writer Heather Phares has argued that Iyall's ``teasing, existential musings (...) predated and predicted the aloof yet frank sexuality of early - and mid - '90s artists such as Elastica and Liz Phair ''. Phares concluded that the song was`` a subversive, influential classic'' and ``one of new wave's most distinctive and innovative moments. ''The song has been covered by many artists, among them are Queens of the Stone Age and Amanda Blank. The song`` A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)'', their highest - charting single, was reportedly written as a response to Michael Jackson's hit song ``Billie Jean '', but can also be seen as a tribute to women who have experienced traumatizing events. Iyall also wrote songs that touched on themes like social alienation (`` Undercover Kept'') and generation gaps (``Chinatown '').
Document 13: Benefactor (album): Benefactor is the second studio album by American new wave band Romeo Void, released in 1982. It was released on CD in 2006 by Wounded Bird Records, with their "Never Say Never" EP as four bonus tracks. The first version of the song "Never Say Never" is a shorter, "clean" edit suitable for general radio broadcast.
Document 14: The Von Bondies: The original line-up formed at the 1997 Cramps/Guitar Wolf show by Jason Stollsteimer and Marcie Bolen. They went through a variety of member changes and band names, including The Baby Killers, before settling on The Von Bondies in 2000. Don Blum joined the band around 1999 after attending numerous Baby Killers shows, while Leann Banks was picked via an audition. The Von Bondies got their break by playing a New Year's Eve show in Detroit, Michigan, in 2000. In attendance at the show was Long Gone John, owner of the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. This led to Sympathy releasing the band's debut album "Lack of Communication" in 2001.
Document 15: Never Say Never (Romeo Void song): "Never Say Never" is a 1982 song by the new wave band Romeo Void. One of their best-known songs, "Never Say Never" was a favorite on early MTV, featuring a black-and-white music video that spoofs Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless". The song is driven by a throbbing, funky bassline and punctuated by jagged guitar and saxophone, incorporating post-punk influences.
