Manual Scan: ‘I Can’t Don’t Want to Faster’

Another artifact from the legendary band’s Jan. 30, 2010, Che Underground showcase at San Diego’s Casbah. This is the second-to-last song in Manual Scan’s 13-song set before being joined by Chris Sullivan and Chris Davies of the Penetrators.

This sequence was culled from Eric Rife’s video and Dave Fleminger’s audio, and features l-r: Dave Fleminger, Kevin Donaker-Ring, Bart Mendoza, Morgan Young and Tim Blankenship.

Manual Scan recently played its last gig for a while at Bar Eleven, so savor this recent footage of a San Diego institution!

  1. Man, you guys are awesome. I didn’t get to catch that much of your set that night, bouncing around catching up w/a bunch of people I hadn’t seen in a long time. I was blown away when I saw you at the Secret Scooter Society’s anniversary show.

    Paul: I missed by days being in SD for Scan’s “Last Waltz” moment at Bar Eleven. I was bummed … There seems to be so much going on with our friends in San Diego right now — the night I caught the Fairmounts, I had to miss the Downs Family. … Paul Brewin met us at the Fairmounts event after playing a gig of his own down the street. And I did get to give Mr. Donaker-Ring a hug in front of the Small Bar en route to the hotel.

    Does my heart good to see everybody rockin’ in the free world!

  3. Matt,

    I’m so torn about Morgan moving to LA. In one sense, it bums me out so much because I feel this is the best version of Scan to hit the stage since the Flem/Brewin days. Maybe ever. (No offense to Dave and Paul, but Tim and Morgan drive the band harder than anyone did in the past. They rock hard, and I know they bring my performance to a higher level.) On the other hand, Morgan more than deserves his shot at fortune and fame. He’s such a great drummer that I can’t truly begrudge him any chance at that. But my selfish side still grumps about it now and then.
