If you're not sure what's going on, ask the person next to you

Here's a flyer for our next Boston show. It's a Joe Strummer tribute show so we'll be playing a few Clash/Mescaleros songs. If you're in the area, you should definitely check it out.

This is product placement

I just realized we're almost out of all the copies of our acoustic cassette tape, "This is Propaganda." I think we're down to about a dozen in our box and we won't be doing another pressing. So if you want one, you best come out to one of the shows we have lined up in December:

12/12/08 - 6pm.
Lil' Tommy J's Home For Lost Boys (20 Shelby St. Waterbury, CT)
With the Screw Ups, Yes Please and Play it Faster

12/19/08 - 6pm.
Democracy Center (Harvard Square. Cambridge, MA)
Joe Strummer Tribute/Benefit for Socialist Alternative with Labor Power and 78 Revolutions

12/20/08 - 6pm.
Fox's (Reynoldsville, PA)
With Full Swing, 40$Boner, and more

Coincidentally, anyone between Connecticut and Reynoldsville, Pennsylvania wanna help us find a show in your town on 12/21? Pwease?

Try this out...

Trust me. Go to Youtube.com, search "Wiggles Puppets." Click the first video, turn the lights off and just stare at your computer screen.
If you want to experience a bad acid trip without doing acid, you should definitely try this. Maybe it's just the Red Breast, but I'm freaking out over this. Terrifying.

This is important...

I guess there's no need in saying it. Everyone knows how big today is. It's the end of a terrible, terrible era and a true turning point in our nation's history.

Of course, I'm talking about the series finale of MTV's Total Request Live (TRL). After having brought us the best music journalism every weekday afternoon for the past 10 years, the show will go off the air on November 16th. It will be missed.

Just kidding...

But really, this is fucking HUGE. Obviously, Obama will need some severe nudging from us to make sure he follows through on these promises, but we finally have a president who seems sincere when he talks about universal healthcare insurance and helping out people who aren't millionaires. Fuck, he's the first anti-war presidential candidate to be elected during a war! Not to mention the fact that after well over 200 years, we actually have a black president. 'Bout fucking time!

And by the way, MTV can swing from my fucking nuts.

Don't be a douche. Vote.

It'll all be over soon. Just go out tomorrow and vote (for the black guy).
