Prison is for Everyone

About Me


Uh,Some dudes jammed and, lo, a name was picked. The name narrowly squeaked by its nemesis, "meow meow kitty meow". Basements were abandoned. Firesides were abandoned. Raitonality was abandoned. Hope was abandoned about a trillion fukn times, yo. Old Style was adopted. The people on the river were happy to give. Fuckers came and went. Record labels existed and stopped existing. Airplanes were taken. Coolant was spewed, Dodges pushed into the wrong damn country. The "Best in the West" was identified. Teeth stained, bidets full of mail, poo-smelling digs as well. Emceed Meier-like box stores were hung out at. Kevin Seconds's doppelganger went to the Holy Land to fight alongside the Resistance. Two Hairs had a bellyache. Someone's daughter got high with the wrong person, asses were wiped and dyped, as in the case of Buzz. Oh, Canada happened once. Thanks for the grand whole-country-as-North-Dakota thing. Hoo-eee. Spacious. Uhh, Chicago got even more boring. Nobody ever had any money anymore. People slept in uncomfortable places. Again with the alcohol. Heaviness happened, but slowly, over time, like a big roast or a boar on a spit. Everything continued to suck. Studios were chosen out of ignorance. Equipment was sold. One fella left and found other people to leave real fast, too. Shit kept happening. Everyone but us knew that we had ceased to exist. That's when it all came together. Not existing is the best way to jam. Then: when a fella tries to buy his way in he is shown the door. Enough with the bad ideas already.

Influences: Masturbatory fantasies of middle-aged bureaucrats. Snappily-dressed throngs of fascists marching dutifully off a cliff, tumbling past doe-eyed unicorns who look startled for a moment but soon go back to grazing on four-leaf clovers and blue diamonds. Milk, toothpaste, orange juice, sriracha, garlic, and wasabi pancakes in a crystal geyser. Change for a six-dollar bill in seventy-cent increments.
Sounds Like: Camden Folder. Melt Westin Forcefield, Agammemnon. Oily Rangoon Scratcher Moontang. Elvin Great Hertz. Olaf Thiebov. Mangrove Obliterang. Born Again Sandwich Authority. Fealty Sphincter. Boron Osmosic Banalism. Amoung the Refertilised.
