Good Lord, I hate bein' sick.
My allergies, for lack of a more accurate descriptor, "bitch-slapped" me on Sunday and all day yesterday, causing me to miss a day of work. Let me tell you, boys and girls...that is NOT as cool as staying home from work when you feel just fine. It doesn't provide the rebellious buzz you typically feel when you're defyin' The Man.
Plus, I felt like refried poop. The ratio of anti-histamines and snot in my system was WAY out of whack.
Now, I have one super-powered anti-histamine in my system, and it feels like a finger-in-the-dam solution, but for the time being, at least, I can function without grossing myself out.
When I wasn't sneezing, sniffling, hacking, dripping, spraying, or draining, I went on a punk-rock binge.
I must've gone through 2000 songs, by 20 or so different bands, and I can officially say: there are some pretty terrible, nightmarish sounds out there that somebody took the time to record. However, I found about 40 songs that kick all the different kinds of ass.
Punk rock? Really?
Yes!
I defy you, The Man, with my grinding guitar sounds and melodic, yet aggressive harmonies! Take that!
One group I found ("Me First & the Gimme Gimmes") does nothing but weird cover songs. The video below isn't theirs, but the song is – check 'em out!
I love the punk-rock musical covers sooooooooooo much!
ReplyDeleteBut we will just have to agree to disagree on the Social Distortion thing...
I hope your head feels better.
I like TWO SONGS by 'em. Jeez!
ReplyDeleteIt's not MY fault that you have some weird, prior association with the band that makes you uncontrollably angry at me when I play those songs really loud through the tiny, brain-piercing speakers of my Macbook when you're trying to do something else.
Maybe we should get you some therapy.
I mean, I love you.
Odd friends make my life so rich and full...
