November 17, 2024 - Music

Jim Lindberg (Credit: Brian Berson)

Name  Jim Lindberg. (Different spelling than Charles and not as fascist-leaning.)

Best known for  Pennywise singer / questionable goatee choices.

More from Spin:

Current city  Manhattan Beach, CA born. Grew up in Hermosa Beach, will die in Palm Springs.

Really want to be in  Bryon Bay, Australia after sharks go extinct.

Excited about: New Black Pacific album, five years of Pennywise farewell tours like Elton John and NOFX. 

My current music collection has a lot of  Black Flag, Phoebe Bridgers, and Taylor Swift (three daughters).

And a little bit of  Chill jazz like Chet Baker to drown out tinnitus. Thanks, Fletcher! 

Preferred format  Vinyl is what I love, CDs are what I have most of, streaming first 20 seconds of any given song like everyone else does is what I do. 

5 Albums I Can’t Live Without:

1

Wild Gift, X

“Let’s not talk about bombs or the brain impulses of severed limbs….” is the best lyric ever written. 

2

Endless Summer, The Beach Boys

On second thought, scratch that. “I wish they all could be California Girls” is the best lyric ever written.

3

London Calling, The Clash

Actually, scratch that scratch: “And every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock and roll / grabs the mic to tell us he’ll die before he’s sold.” Now that’s the best lyric ever!

4

Look Sharp!, Joe Jackson

Okay last time, promise. “Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street / From my window I’m staring while my coffee goes cold.” That’s it. Final Answer. 

5

Generation X, Generation X

I lied. “And Jimmy’s number One Hundred and one, knows one day, he’ll be one. Watch him, watch him go!”  Yeah let’s go with that. Or maybe it’s X. Sorry.
