I've just got a few minutes before I pass out from exhaustion. Fojimoto, along with the help of our close friends (John O'brien and Splintered Tree) put on a benefit to raise funds for the Middle East Childrens Alliance earlier this evening and I'm plum tuckered out. I'll try not to narcoleptically fall asleep at the helm.

With that disclaimer to prelude, I'd like to say one thing. Bad music is hurting the youth of today. Please do not endorse wimpy rock bands that sound every bit like The Goo Goo Dolls only younger. Instead put on your chuck taylors and rock out with yer cock out to Tsar. Those guys are rad. Or, if you are feeling a little S&M you might want to put on a Monster Magnet record and laugh along to the words "Suck the Cock of The Fire God." I did. When you see the little fuckers in that band called Saves the Day or in Dashboard Confessional... punch them in the face for me, cuz those whiney little sucks deserve it. They are personally ruining my day. Do not buy the album, instead go write your own songs, record them on a hand held recorder and send it to me, cuz I need to find something to get their songs out of my musical landscape.
And while I'm at it... have you seen the Hives? Are they as contrived as I think? And why are people so hot about them. I would much rather listen to Delta 88, Royal Trux, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, or any number of great rock and roll punx. Support true punk music, folks. Its the only way to enjoy your life.This new wave of so-called punk music is like a sack of shit set on fire. Its becoming the next big thing, like Grunge was in 1992. It really sucks. And so does Dashboard Confessional. I hope the lead singer gets into a shellfish accident and breaks out in hives. and I hope that cute lead singer in the Hives eats as much food as their guitarist soon, so he gets all fat and bloated and can't jump up and down and swagger.

Listen To Fugazi. Listen to Buck Owens. Listen to Greg Vaine. Listen to Beach Wood Sparks. Listen to The Mother Hips. Listen to Ornette Coleman. Listen To Joe Henry. Listen to Tsar. Listen to Trans Am. Listen to Audio Learning Center. Turn off MTV.
