"punk/hip hop/ska"? Yikes.

At my school the library building is being remodeled, so there are all these temporary walls up. People have been writing and drawing on them all year, and today there was a new one up that said something along the lines of "Support the ELF/ALF".

So I drew a picture of Alf as an elf above it.

does calling a band "sellouts" only really work if people care about said band?

"Political punk/hip hop/ska"? What could be possibly good about a band like this?

SloaneDaley (June 12, 2008)

that description sounds very "high school battle of the bands" to me.

GlamBalam (June 12, 2008)

i'm gonna have too call these major label wank stains out on copyright issue's!

at a drunken karaoke one night a few years back i thought it' would be swell too put the mic to my ass as i brewed a fat one....

on recollection, when unleashed, it sound pretty similar to this nonsense.

if i'd known i could have been the pioneer of punk/hip hop/ska, i'da fucking rolled with it
