That Dirty Projectors is really good, btw-- however, the fact that it is a song for song "reinterpretation" of a Black Flag album doesn't necessarily mean that the music has anything to do with Black Flag.

a majority of the people who buy albums at good records must be fucking boring.

that trophy nissan commercial was really shitty. and so is M.I.A.

Wow, that new M.I.A. record has some of the worst rapping on it since that Trophy Nissan commercial. I think that's why I like it.

Them Dirty Projectors might be awite, too, as long as they keep they carolin' outta Mickey D's while I'm tryinta get my clown on.

no, you really don't.

what is shock of pleasure?
what is the slack?

i probably don't want to know.
