not saying it doesn't! but they're one of those bands that i kind of forget about for long periods of time, and they occupy a completely different musical planet for me than the mats do. never in a million years would i group them together, for any reason! so it's very disconcerting.
incredible
occasionally it'll play some hip, and then i have a little breakdown, as a treat
i told my not-spotify streaming music provider to play me some replacements, and it is, but also i have not heard this much toad the wet sprocket since 1994. thank god i remember all the words

Punk rock says "make art without training, without credentials, without technique, without the approval of gatekeepers." Prompting an algorithm to spit a slurry of other people's work down your throat like a baby bird, coated in an uncanny veneer of good-enough-ness, could not possibly be less punk.
MULTIPLE chairs! and just look at all those pans! what is she doing with them all?!

Black and white photo taken from just inside an archway showing lovely buildings of 5 or so floors lining both sides of a cobbled street bisected by an angled street with more of these buildings. Few people are out, but one or two of the boxy cars of the 1920s can be seen in the background, along with a few puddles pooling on the street. Farther away rises the shadowy spire of a massive skyscraper church.
