Vault Selections
Selections from The Punk Vault [F-Word]
F-Word – Shut Down 7″ (1978 Posh Boy Records)
Note: Since this originally "aired", F-Word founding member, Dim Wanker, contacted me and wanted to share his story of the F-Word history, as it is much different than the Posh Boy version. I being the one of the belief everyone should have their say, I was more than happy to offer to update this entry with Dim's story which is posted below the Posh Boy one.
My first exposure to F-Word was on one of the Posh Boy Compilations, perhaps it was "Posh Hits Volume One" but I'm not quite sure. It would be awhile before I bought their one and only album, which was a live one. To me the band was an acquired taste, they eventually grew on me but the original purpose for buying the record is the fact that if I like a record label, I tend to collect that label as a whole and buy everything they release. In hindsight, I'm glad that I collect the way I do because I came to appreciate a lot of records purchased solely for what label they were on when I'd go and revisit them later, to which this record is a prime example of.
F-Word were part of that first wave of Los Angeles area punk from the late 70s. It was fronted by the late Rik L Rik. Since Posh Boy was not only their record label, but their manager, I went to the man himself, Robbie Fields, and asked him to share his version of the F-Word history as was there and here is what he wrote.
F Word! was very much part of the initial 1977 L.A. punk explosion, centered around the Masque, an underground (literally and figuratively) club off Hollywood Blvd. in then seedy Hollywood, California. One key difference: the group members were a little younger than the other groups making their mark: The Screamers, Weirdos, Dils, Alleycats, Nuns, Skulls, Germs, Controllers and Avengers. I came to meet F Word! when working the midweek door for Masque owner, Brendan Mullen, and I was soon asked to manage them.
Of course, I had no prior experience as an artist manager, but I did speak with an English accent and that must have seemed a plus at the time.
The group revolved around the songwriting axis of guitarist Kenny Sercu aka Dim Wanker and singer Richard Elerick aka Rick L Rick (later : Rik L Rik) who must have been 17 at the time. Even younger was the bass player. The drummer was the weak link and soon departed and was replaced by a much older professional drummer out of Chicago (ex City Boys) that I had found, an aspiring actor named David Schultz aka Dutch. Dutch proved the glue that held the group together during their short, incandescent career. He owned a never commissioned checker cab that was ultra reliable as band transportation; he provided some maturity in a very immature mix and he knew that both frontmen had something few had: charisma. So while Wanker played the most anarchic guitar, making you wonder he knew what song they were playing at that moment and Rik was doing his best Iggy impersonation of acting as though he was not supposed to be singing, drummer and bass player provided an awesome backbeat.
Rik became a favorite of all the Masque scenesters. Kenny and Steve the bass player were a little rough around the edges. It was inevitable that Dangerhouse would become interested in the group and everyone wanted to have a single released on Dangerhouse as
1977 folded into 1978. Unfortunately, F Word were a low priority at the Dangerhouse collective and it soon became apparent that the squabbling between Wanker and L Rick were torpedo the group before they went into the studio.
Meanwhile, their dutiful manager had been securing the group prime gigs: opening at the Whiskey for Screamers and The Weirdos and taking them to San Francisco frequently to play Mabuhay Gardens on weekends and playing with the top S.F. groups back then, the Nuns and Avengers. As it happened, the Mabuhay soundboard was always connected to a reel to reel deck and I took advantage by recording the many sets F Word! played at the club. Regrettably, we only had a mono mix from the board and not all the instruments were mic'd. So, at the point where it became apparent that the group was in its death throes I proposed that we give up on Dangerhouse and release the live material; this idea was met with hostility from both Wanker and L Rick who were not happy with people hearing their warts and all performances. But the other 2 members sided with me and felt we had to have something to memorialize the group and its impact. Much later on, Rik L Rik became reconciled to the F Word! recordings and he was extremely happy when top Swedish group Sator re-recorded "Government Official" for their Barbie Q Killers album and charted with it as a single, something that never would have happened but for the release of the F Word! live material.
Count me in as one of the people who is glad that the live recordings came out, as if it not for them, we'd have no document of F-Word. Thanks to Robbie Fields for the story.
Founding member Dim Wanker has this to say about the F-Word history.
If you can get you're hands on the liner notes to the Masque benefit cd's (F-word,X) they're written by Rik L Rik and fairly accurate from Rick's perspective as far as I'm concerned, up to that point in history. They were written in 1999. Rick died the next year. We had played F-word reunion gigs throughout the 90's and we were very close friends. As a matter of fact we were in the process of forming a punk super group prior to his death including myself, Rick, Pat Smear (Germs), Don Bowles (The Consumers) and Pat, Rick's friend whose last name alludes me, in 2000.
But going back to the 70's, Rik and I were like one, a team for three years before and during our flash run. Though we had typical differences (few and short), we were tight. It was pretty much his and my group on an even footing and we saw each other nearly every day for that period. We co-wrote every song together with myself sometimes creating the music then Rick adding words with a rare occurance that rick would come up with some words and we would then put the music. This should indicate how we were the driving mechanism of F-Word together. We changed bass players three or four times as well as drummers a number of times during the short Hollywood experience, but Rick and I were the crux.
As per Posh Boy's version of the break up of F-Word, It's entirely fictional. Posh Boy who managed us for only a few months, out of the blue one night in 1978,( we were booked at the Whiskey A GoGo), came to meet us halfway accross Sunset Blvd. with a handful of records gleefully shouting "here's you're new record boys". This was of course a complete shock to us and upon listening, quite a disappointment. We believed in our music a great deal and were moving up pretty quickly. At this time we were in discussion's with Denny Cordel of Shelter Records to record and it was our desire to properly produce our songs. All the problems of F-Word were between Robbie Fields and myself, he had an agenda to seperate Rik and I. Where we had always done writing songs, interviews, and photo sessions together, Robbie was engineering occurances for Rik seperate from myself which became a wedge. After one night, Robbie (late twenties) kicked me (17) in the stomach for some inane reason. This coupled with his decision to release a record without even our knowledge or OK and the wedge he was creating made up my mind to leave. So I left town and went to my old home in Azusa and did not speak to Rik or anyone else tied to F-Word for six or so years. Then in 1986 at the Coconut Teaser for a signing party of Rick's band, The Snake's, we met again and Rik asked me why I left the band, he had no idea. I explained to him my reasoning, Robbie Robbie Robbie, and we soon became close friends again for the last fifteen years of his life, playing gigs until the time in which he became sick. My conversations continued with him until a week before his death though he was bed ridden for half a year. Many bands have covered our songs including your mention of Sator (Sweden), True Sounds of Liberty (CA), and others on record. We played probably our best show last, at Bergimont Station in late 1999 w/ X, The GoGo's, The Crowd and MC'd by Pee Wee Herman to a maximum crowd filling out into the street.
The record orignally came with no picture sleeve on black, then later red and white vinyls. The white is the hardest to find and Robbie suspects they did some of those when they pressed the Rik L Rik 7″. I actually need a copy of this on black vinyl without the sleeve if anyone has one for sale/trade. Around 1990 it was reissued with a picture sleeve that was numbered on the back and had the silver labels that became common on all Posh Boy releases. This also has the distinction of being the first release on the label.

Once again, pure amazement! An actual response from Posh Boy! I grew up in OC and this is close to home. I have the live album …I can't remember the cover…or vinyl color. Thanks for the info!
Another flashback thanks to you. Years ago I responded to an ad from Posh Boy that said he would send you a free record if you could tell him what TSOL stood for. I gambled my 13 cent stamp and was rewarded with this single on white wax. I still have it although I spin the live album more often.
this doesnt download
It should be working now.
K. Sercu says:
Dearest sir or madam: My name is K.Sercu AKA Dim I have just been E-mailed you're site by a friend and read posh's history revisited revised reviled, you're site is fun and brings back great memories of a truly excellent Scene of which I assure you there has not been the like since. P.S. I could set the record straight for you if you would like to contact me. Thanks much for the PR.
Well I'll be damned, I was at Reckless a few weeks ago and I picked up the 1990 re-issue of this 7″. I enjoyed it so I guess it was worth the kind of steep seven dollar price. I agree with you that it needs to grow on you; at first the vocals annoyed me a bit but after listening to it three or four more times I really started to like it.
Robbie Fields says:
I think it is entirely possible that Rik could keep his various friends in
different compartments and therefore I would not have been aware of Kenny's renewed friendship with L Rik.
When F Word! broke up – much to my chagrin as I had invested much of my time and money in the group – not only did Kenny go his separate way back to Azusa but Rik took off, ending up in Negative Trend. This was something that he did all on his own, nothing to do with me whatsoever. I think it is fair to infer that Rik had grown weary of Dim's antics by this time and likewise Dim did not see a future for himself in Hollywood.
Let me repeat my earlier opinion that Kenny was vital to F Word! and his departure in itself broke up the group. Now that I think of it, I did try and recruit a replacement guitarist … Dan Chauncey, whom I had seen playing with Al Kooper at the Troubadour. Later, Dan made his name in .38 Special.
I absolutely agree that both Rik and Kenny were disappointed in the live recordings. But the other 2 members,
Steve Offut and Dutch Schultz sided with me and I went ahead. Rik did not stay angry for long over it.
If there had been discussions at this time with Denny Cordell, I would never have proceeded with my plan.
I came to know Denny well from 1979 onwards through his personal assistant Kate Hyman then dating the drummer in U.X.A.. This is the first I have ever heard of Denny's interest in any of my acts. Well, he did have the Simpletones play at the roller rink he unwisely invested in.
That said, Denny was extremely supportive of what I was doing, going so far as giving me studio time at Shelter (that we used on the group then known as Red Cross).
If I managed to kick Kenny in the stomach, I am surprised I got away with it as I am quite a bit shorter than he is. But now I know why he ran back to Azusa.
What F-Word! song did TSOL cover?
I just wanted to point out the Sator did in fact NOT release "Government Official" as a single. They did include it on their 1994 CD "Barbie-Q-Killers vol. 1" though.

Continuous Improvement in any organisation is critical, to demonstrate that it is moving forward. At R&R we employed an outside body to bring us together whilst training in the seven tools of quality.
By using quality tools we have been able to improve the robustness of specific processes, allowing us to offer much more competitively. This has ensured that our manufacturing of new parts during 2017 and into 2018 has increased by 25%.
As this was a whole team effort, it proved that the team as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Also proving that spending capital is not always required!
R&R now has further initiatives to improve its business again through the involvement of all of us.

No they don't, the prices haven't dropped to a price that kills the economy of the site.

I didn't realize they were shiny. I have bad AD/HD at school.
What level is the Frokie?
EDIT just now saw it was lvl 1. How many IVs?

Diagnosing 'no return tag' errors in GSC when hreflang, on the surface, looks optimal
By Annaleis Montgomery. Published November 30, 2021 in the SEO category
Bio | Annaleis is currently working as an SEO Consultant at Brainlabs. Her experience lies in digital marketing, with a specific focus on search engine optimization (SEO), in developing and executing SEO strategies for a variety of global accounts, in varying industries. She is building her specialty in luxury, e-commerce clients. Prior to this, Annaleis worked in digital marketing for a conference company that runs search & digital marketing conferences.
We've all been there - you're looking over a client's hreflang; everything looks alright, nothing alarming is jumping out. You then go across to check Google Search Console and see month on month hreflang errors increasing. Sorry?!
Hreflang is one of those areas of international SEO that looks deceivingly straightforward (John Muller tends to agree), but as soon as something doesn't add up, it becomes a minefield of rabbit holes.
Luckily, I experienced this recently and was able to identify a few issues that were occurring site-wide, across multiple international sites that were the main cause for the increasing "no-return tag" hreflang errors.
Firstly, what is hreflang?
Hreflang is a specific markup code that tells Google and other search engines which geographical location and language a specific page is targeting.
Hreflang is needed for any site that has international equivalents. For example, you have a website that is .co.uk, which is for people in the United Kingdom, who speak English.
However, you also want your website to be accessible and available to people in Italy, who speak italian. You can't serve them with the English site, as that wouldn't serve the users well, instead, you'd want to create a site that is for Italy, and the content is in Italian.
You would need to tell Google that whilst the content is the same, and it's the same site, it is serving a different purpose and audience. This is when hreflang is used.
Hreflang tells Search Engines that a site does not have duplicate content, however, this content is targeting a specific country & language.
This helps search engines better understand the language and country preferences for those particular pages and understand the relationship between web pages in alternative languages.
Search engines use the hreflang information to decide which version of your website to display in their search results, depending on the country and language the user is searching in. For example, a user searching in Spain will want to see the Spanish version of the page, compared to a user searching in Germany, who would want to see a German version of the same page.
What are some best practices?
The hreflang attribute should be placed in only one location. This can be in either the on-page markup, the HTTP header, or the sitemap.
Every hreflang link should have a return link → corresponding pages need to point to each other, acknowledging the different versions.
Hreflang requires a country and language code. Google supports the ISO 639-1 format for language codes. This hreflang generator can be useful to test your hreflang setup.
Set up an x-default hreflang attribute value to signal to Google's algorithms that a page doesn't target any specific language or locale, and is the default page when no other page is better suited.
What are "no return tag" errors?
The errors discussed in this piece are from Google Search Console, and are labeled "no return tag". This is when the original URL and the alternative URL don't have return tags.
A return tag is when one page (Page A) has hreflang set up and points to Page B as a language/country alternative.
But Page B doesn't point back to Page A.
Therefore there is no returning hreflang tag.
Return tags are important to prove to search engines that you, as the webmaster/SEO, have control over both page variants and that they are correctly associated with one another.
Get the data
Step 1: Go to google search console
Step 2: Scroll down the left-hand side menu
Step 3: Under "Legacy Tools and reports", go to "International Targeting"
Source: Google Search Console
The screenshot below shows the dashboard within International Targeting.
We can see the list of errors, sorted from most to least, occurring across the various international sites.
Source: Google Search Console: International Targeting
We will use "en" no return tags to explore. Click through to one of your issues.
Step 4: Check the hreflang set up on the issue page. There are some great guides showing you the key steps; see Screaming Frog's guide and Moz's guide.
Weird and Wonderful Issues Found:
Issue 1: Are your redirects & canonicals causing no return tags?
An e-commerce retail website has many pages, ranging from product pages to category/head pages. Because of the nature of the product offering, product pages often have many variations due to filters being applied (such as colors, sizes, etc.). Products are also known to go out of stock or become no longer available / sold.
With these two issues, canonicals can be used to help crawlers focus their attention on the important pages we want to rank.
For example, we would want the category page of "women's bodycon dresses",

To rank over a parameterized page that has filters applied, such as "women's bodycon dresses, in blue, size M";

Similarly, when products are sold out or are no longer offered / available, companies have various ways of dealing with this. A couple of ways are to either 301 redirect the page to a relevant main category page (if this product is never coming back), or keep the page and make it clear it is out of stock. You can then add a canonical tag to that page pointing to a more relevant page you want to rank.
Some useful resources for handling out of stock pages include:

For pages that have been 301 redirected; you should add in the hreflang annotation to the final URL showing the content, not the page that is 301 redirecting. If the hreflang annotation is on the redirecting page, this could flag a "no return error" in Google Search Console. This is because the crawlers can't read that the hreflang is on that page as it is being redirected to read the new page.
Action: Removing the hreflang annotations from the redirecting page and adding them to the final destination page will reduce the number of "no return tag" errors occurring in Google Search Console (GSC).
For pages that have been canonicalized; you should remove the hreflang annotation from any page that is canonicalizing to another page. This is because all of these pages are canonicalizing to the primary / clean version of the product page, so any search engine crawlers will abide by that directive and treat the canonical URL as the page from which to follow instructions (which has the hreflang on it). If the page that is canonicalizing has hreflang annotation on it, it will appear as a "no return tag" error as it is being directed to not read that page's HTML.
Action: Removing the hreflang annotations on pages that canonicalize (not to itself), will reduce the number of "no return tag" errors occurring in GSC.
Issue 2: Googlebot is being blocked
Is your site-blocking Googlebot from crawling? We have found instances where large websites will block Googlebot (both desktop and mobile) from crawling.
You may be wondering, why would you ever block Googlebot?
Preserve crawl budget and ensure that Google isn't crawling lots of low-value pages (which can happen with large, product-based websites)
Prevent pages from appearing in the search results, such as sensitive information
Protect server load to prioritize user navigation (especially common for larger sites)
What can happen when you block Googlebot? It can affect Googlebot's ability to crawl and index a site's content, which can lead to a loss of ranking in Google's search results (as it can't find/read the content to index) when used inappropriately.
Here is the scenario.
The same e-commerce retail website is experiencing increasing "no return tag" errors in Google Search Console. This was identified by going into Google Search Console and looking at the International Targeting data.
Once a country and language list were downloaded, we ran both the "originating URL" pages and the "alternative URL" pages in two separate Screaming Frog crawls to identify their status codes.
This process was repeated across multiple different countries & language websites.
Numerous pages were returning a 403 status code. However, when these pages were checked manually, these pages were 200 status codes and both the originating and alternate URLs had corresponding hreflang annotations.
A number of pages were listed as 200 status codes, both also containing corresponding hreflang annotations. However, these pages were pulled from Google Search Console, which meant there was an issue occurring with the returning hreflang tags.
The screenshot below shows that when we look at the page from the Googlebot Smartphone user-agent, it comes up as a 403. To do this, you right hand click on the page: Inspect element → click the 3 dots at the top right hand corner, select More Tools → Network Conditions.
Source: Client website: Inspect Element
Then under User Agent, click the drop-down menu and select your crawler of choice (we selected Googlebot Smartphone as our client's site was mobile-first indexing). As seen above.
For pages that we're returning a 403 status code from the crawl, we identified that these were not being read/found by Googlebot (desktop or mobile), due to it being blocked from crawling them. This was confirmed by the client, that they were blocking Googlebot due to crawl budget issues. If the crawler can't read the page, it can't identify that there is hreflang set up on the page.
For pages that we're returning a 200 status code from the crawl and had reciprocating hreflang annotations, we determined these too weren't being properly accessed or crawled by Googlebot. This was confirmed by the client, as they had crawl budget issues. If they had been properly crawled, they wouldn't be included in the list of pages that had a "no return tag" error.
Action: To unblock Googlebot crawlers (both desktop and smartphone) from crawling the site (as long as these pages didn't need to be blocked for other reasons, which in this case, they didn't), as this is causing an increase in hreflang errors, as well as having the potential to affect pages to not be indexed.
If it can't be unlocked for other reasons, increasing the crawling capacity could help identify more pages & hreflang, and therefore help decrease the number of errors.
Hreflang can be very useful and important when it comes to international websites. If set up properly, it can run smoothly and be left alone. However, as with most sites, pages are added/removed, site structures change, and ranking importance for pages shifts; which is when hreflang can cause issues.
While these hreflang scenarios are rather specific, hopefully, they can shine some light on the idiosyncrasies that hreflang can have and help others investigate and solve similar issues occurring with their sites.
Here are some resources I've found useful for the wider explanation of hreflang and how it is implemented. These also include the ones I've linked to throughout the post. Thanks!

Cushing's ties to Bhutan pave way for student trip
Kerry O'Brien
ASHBURNHAM — Students and staff from Cushing Academy are currently visiting the world's newest democracy as part of the school's initiative to improve education in the developing country.
"I think it's a tremendous opportunity for the students to experience such a very different country that is both developed and very enlightened in most respects," said Cushing Academy Headmaster Dr. James Tracy of the journey to the Asian nation of Bhutan. "They'll be looking at how we can collaborate as a school with Bhutan's education system to help them move toward a new approach."
While the main goal of the partnership is to assist Bhutan's efforts to create modern public educational system, members of the Cushing group say they have a lot to learn from their host country as well.
"The relative simplicity of the Bhutanese way of life seems free from the daily stresses that so often accompany the technological modernization and growth of other cultures, like ours," wrote Cushing sophomore Shaylah O'Connor in a blog entry. "There seems to be a satisfaction with one's own self and being."
Bhutan is a landlocked nation of approximately 700,000 people located in the Himalaya Mountains bordering India, China and Nepal. In 2008, it adopted a constitution to become the world's newest democracy.
Cushing is tied to Bhutan through its king, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, a class of 1999 alumnus of the school.
The king and Bhutan's Ministry of Education Thakur Powdyel initiated the partnership with Cushing in a continuing effort to improve the nation's educational system.
According to Dr. Tracy, education has been a focus in Bhutan since the king's grandfather ruled in the 1960s, when English was made the language of instruction and the assistance of Jesuit priests and nuns helped establish a school system.
The nonprofit Bhutan Canada Foundation continues that work today, providing teachers, supplies and scholarships. Cushing is playing a role through the incorporation of modern educational technology.
"When the group comes back, we'll be having discussions with the Ministry of Education on how we can move toward a decision about what type of computers they would like and the scale of how much would it cost," Dr. Tracy said. "Then we'll invite every Cushing student to participate in helping us fundraise to provide tools to our sister school in Bhutan."
Dr. Tracy says plans for students at Cushing and in Bhutan to interact in real-time via the Internet on school projects are also in the works.
"We're very much hoping to be able to use digital technology," he said. "We're hoping students will do different types of engineering collaboratives to get to know each other as a virtual community in addition to all of the other exchanges."
The visit from the Cushing Academy representatives — sophomore class students Carl Jost, Taylor Greene, Jordan Comeau and Ms. O'Connor and teachers Ken Zangari, Gisele Zangari and Peter Clarke — begins a cultural exchange that will continue through next year, according to Dr. Tracy. Each year, he said, Cushing has a theme, and next year's will be Bhutan and developing nations. Representatives from Bhutan will visit to talk about the nation's rich culture.
"We are building a series of exchanges and relationships that will include a symposium on Bhutan this summer with top representatives and scholars," said Dr. Tracy.
Bhutan — which is not an affluent nation by international standards — has taken a unique approach to measuring wealth, developing a "gross national happiness" index that Dr. Tracy said has been calculated for roughly three decades.
"Bhutan said (gross domestic product) is not a really good indicator," the headmaster said. "What they do is maintain is a gross national happiness index, which looks at economic development, education attainment, health statistics and other types of factors such as longevity. They're asking the question of, 'are we enhancing the well being of our people?'"
Recently, the United Nations recognized Bhutan's way of calculating a society's satisfaction with its government and economy.
"The United Nations voted last year on it, and now they're asking all members ... to maintain a gross national happiness index like Bhutan," Dr. Tracy said.
The Cushing Academy representatives for Bhutan embarked on their journey on March 10 with a return date set for March 31.
Upon their return, a campus-wide assembly will be held to inform the community about the group's discoveries.
Dr. Tracy said he hopes the school's initiative will be a success and will inspire other schools across the nation to get involved in education initiatives that benefit countries around the world like Bhutan.
"If we have success as pilot, we hope it will be scaled up to other schools throughout the country," he said. "We absolutely expect that we will impart some valuable ideas and resources to the education system of Bhutan. But we also expect to learn as much from them as they will from us. We have a lot to learn from a country that has a gross national happiness index."
