The Mystechs - a.k.a. Emil Hyde and Derek Dziak - create what can loosely be termed "music" and put on what could sort of be called "rock shows", but in reality it's so much more and/or less than that. Others have called us the "Evel Knievels of the punk scene" and "the most pathetic band on Earth" and "an Ian Svevonious / Liza Minelli pancake", but that's just not hyperbolic enough for our tastes. "87% as cool as God" would be more like it.
Food, not bombs.

Would you rather have a bad computer virus or mild Gonorrhea?

This is not going to be a funny blog. It's going to be a boring, cautionary, high-school-hygiene-class kind of blog. Today at my day job I was surfing around the internet, checking out the sleazy ...
