Brainwave
Mail day. Power Trip 7" with a cool lil' LOC sticker. A Texas band that does crossover the right way and who can freely admit to being Prong fans. (Oh, so you just now noticed how many Prong riffs are on the Bad Seed 7"? You're a dummy). Drug Dogs interview is imminent.

AFI - "Ny-Quil" (Dylan's Dumb iPod #11):
I'll lie here in my room. I have no need to see.
No one wake me, I just want to stay right bed.
No one move me, I just want to lie right here, right in my warm bed,
because I don't want to see tomorrow.
Here I am so happy, so just leave me be.
I just want to stay.
I do not bother you, so don't you touch me.
Get the fuck away!
A few thoughts on this particular track:
It's a song about sleeping. There have been some awesome songs about sleeping (see D.R.I's "I'd Rather be Sleeping) and some that just make you wanna go to sleep (see anything DYS tried doing after Brotherhood).
It's a song about abusing medications (possibly satirically...I mean, they've got another early gem called "Aspirin Free"). Having been on meds since I was in like 5th grade, I back it.
The Reservoir Dogs shtick is kind of goofy, so is wearing club shirts and creepers, but this was the 90s and the bay area so I can overlook it.
The melodic "woah-oh" part at the end reminds me of the time I was really into Epitaph records and the Punk-O-Rama comps.
How hard is that video where Davey Havok covers Project X with Ceremony?
How hard is this pic with the REAL shirt and bleached hair?

USA for USA?
I can order a fanzine from Australia and get it within the week. I order a tape/shirt/7"/zine from any zitty entitled boner nosed dullard in the American midwest and can't get anything in under 4 months (plus dozens of threatening e-mails). I love giving my money to idiots. Also, I'd really like it if we got 500 more fat kids in Supreme hats to do that "knuckle-cracking" pose at shows and talk about Merauder. We haven't quite hit that quota yet.
Read Chunks zine. Then go mosh into an oncoming bus.
