Forever The Sickest Kids might be one of the worst bands this side of Vampire Weekend.

It 's like some evil scientist combined MCS and the Disney channel.

scientistrock (November 24, 2008)

Oh my god that is awful.

LinoleumMagazine (November 24, 2008)

Yes. Fuck that band. i wish they could overdose from wearing to much ugly neon.

Bands like that make me hate bands like Good Charlotte a little less.

Cheesetits (November 24, 2008)

Why the fuck did neon get back in fashion? These kids weren't even born in the early 90's.

MyStereoHasMono (November 24, 2008)

Shit like this is so fucking embarrassing. Much like every other band like this, these guys are the Foreigner of the new millennium.

ZombieCrush (November 24, 2008)

I was sent this link and I just can't help but post it here. I'm going to go vomit now. I will never eat an oyster again.

Your mom's cookbook.

10-4Eleanor (November 24, 2008)

Seriously? Schnappscum?

ZombieCrush (November 24, 2008)

I'm still wondering how the girl at my work that sent the link to me found it.

edgelife (November 24, 2008)

Some girl on my floor just showed me that.
Awesome guys.

leecorsoisapenis (November 24, 2008)

"Can sperm in taco make babby in girl stomach if she eats?"

This comment wins!

syebot (November 24, 2008)

this is doing the rounds! I've sent that link to so many of my friends over the past week. I'm really excited to see if anyone buys me it for christmas.

Also, boys, next time you're disappointed your girlfriend doesn't swallow, just remember the oysters.

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

Is it sexist we keep having to remind ourselves there is a woman in the band, or is it acceptable because HOLY SHIT IT'S BLAKE AND COMETBUS?

Discuss.

JoelSweetheart (November 24, 2008)

oh! damn... hmm...

we also keep referring to Obama as our black president...is that racist?

Probably not. We are pointing out something that is not the norm, and sadly even with as many women as there are in rock'n'roll, this is still primarily a boys game whether we like it that way or not.

There. That's my piece and I'm sticking to it.

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

I just wish there were more women in punk rock. I feel like I'm at a stag party sometimes. It would be nice to have a different cultural perspective brought in.

That, and punk chicks are generally super cute, and I am all for being in a room full of cute girls.

syebot (November 24, 2008)

I would love more girls to hang out with at shows. Most times I'm at a gig, I can count the number of females in the room on one hand. And thats including myself in the number. It's sad :(

dev (November 24, 2008)

Has it been determined whether or not Holy Balls would do her? Maybe that's why we keep seeing that wording popping up in the articles.

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

She was on the L Word. I think a better question is if she would do Holy Balls.

baldsteve (November 24, 2008)

No chance in hell.

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

Andrea's mad as hell I have a better chance of landing George Takei than she does.

MilesQToast (November 24, 2008)

I always get bill patxon, bill pullman and gary sinese confused. Does that make me racist?

ManOfInfirmity (November 24, 2008)

No. We probably wouldn't forget if they played a show that was announced more than five minutes ahead of time.

JawbreakerSucks (November 24, 2008)

Oh look, a Jawbreaker news! Everybody get in a circle and start jerking off!

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

baldsteve (November 24, 2008)

I emailed you pics of the first 'release'. I'm sore, the next won't be as productive.

JawbreakerSucks (November 24, 2008)

Who gave YOU my email anyway?

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

Your upstairs neighbor.

JawbreakerSucks (November 24, 2008)

You mean downstairs.

baldsteve (November 24, 2008)

You did, remember we were eating peanut butter off of each others asses?

JawbreakerSucks (November 24, 2008)

Couldn't be. I fear intimacy.

baldsteve (November 24, 2008)

Intimacy? What the fuck, you said you were out of plates. I'm done trusting you.

JawbreakerSucks (November 24, 2008)

I will slap your face right off your face.

baldsteve (November 24, 2008)

You said that last time then you wound up going home burping bleach and buttermilk. I love you too.

SloaneDaley (November 24, 2008)

I had two outstanding No Idea orders and the one I ordered later came but the older one still hasn't arrived, should I be worrying that some fiend has ganked my shit?

Banal242 (November 24, 2008)

The border patrol took it.

SloaneDaley (November 24, 2008)

I'll fight them all!

Martholamew (November 24, 2008)

I'd email them or call them first to find out if it's back ordered or something.

SloaneDaley (November 24, 2008)

yeah I emailed them when I got the other one in the mail today, hopefully they'll get back to me.

MattRamone (November 24, 2008)

It usually takes Matt a day or two to get back to you, but he is always helpful.

SloaneDaley (November 24, 2008)

he did quite quickly it was something back ordered.

DaveSanta01 (November 24, 2008)

I ordered the newest D4 record from Fat about a month ago and still haven't got it. I've sent emails and they haven't been returned. I'm worried.

Avi (November 24, 2008)

Here is a direct link to where the Cometbus interview starts,

Also, The Gr'ups were awesome.

crackpotdemagogue (November 24, 2008)

i enjoyed that. first time i've ever heard cometbus in an interview. it was kind of weird... he wasn't how i expected, but at the same time i don't know what i expected! wish i'd have known it was on so i could have listened live and asked him via the message boards what the deal was with the lazy art on the latest pin gun 7"

Lesterfangs (November 25, 2008)

Aaron of SHRIMPBUS?

or are my eyes going?
