Happy Holidays if you celebrate them. I'm not this year, but if you can get together with your loved ones (and even if you can't) I wish you well.

Wanna be a real punk? quit spending mommy's money, get a job, and get involved in the world around you. Vote, research politics, plant a tree, volunteer at a soup kitchen, and support local musichians, venues, and record shops. Hell, you can even take part in a protest rally if you think that will accomplish anything. Write to your cogressman. (or woman.) But don't sit on your passive ass and bitch. Stand up and do something. Don't do what every one else does just to be trendy, but don't rebel just to scare your parents or church or whatever. There is no such thing as a rebel without a cuase, just a rebel without a clue. To quote Joey Comeau

So Far From Finished's new album is now a month old and I have been listening to it constantly. It is called Living in the Fallout. It is awsome. Check it oput for emotional rock that doesn't sound like whiny crybaby mall shit. The song Roses and Razorblades is my favorite. In other cool news, the Dropkick Murphys' new album, The Meanest of Times, drops in a month. Guess who is excited? Every fucking body! Everbody who likes good punk that celebrates working class America, that is. Speaking of WC punk, check out the Blue Bloods. They are good as hell, especially if you like anthemic hardcore. One last thing, God Bless the Real Mckenzies! --
