Hot damn, this is fun!
Y'know, I might come off like I'm abrasive an' I might jus' be a mean motherfucker, but goddamn I'm havin' fun wit' these weekly raids! Grabbin' alla this stuff for you fine junkies has put a new spring in my step – 'at's fer sure – an' people have noticed it when I come their way inna real world. Somebody mentioned it to me not too long ago; I might still be a miserable reprobate, but when they see me comin' now, it's different. Some folks've tol' me that they'll see me strollin' up Avenue B singin' inna key o' Pira-C an' I'm wearin' it well I guess – now when I drop somebody onna pavement, I do it wit' a smile!
An' jus' who wouldn't be smilin'? Lookit this week's shipment o' ill-gotten gains, an' tell me what I might be happy about. I know Fi' dollar Billy'll be happy, I scored a BUNCH o' new punk rekkids for 'im; I dug up a bunch o' Bad Religion covers by some o' this year's best AN' foun' a pretty killer cover o' The Ramones' "I Wanna Be Sedated" done by Lexicon to boot! I also foun' a new tune by dis band called Exit Calm — innat case, jus' listen to it, I guarantee you'll be hooked. Aw, what else? I foun'is guy, calls himself The Haret. Now dis is the kinda stuff Ollie Mikse might get a kick outta – it sounds like it was recorded inna basement wit' no trimmins at all. Just stark songwriting an' itfuckin' shines man, do yerself a favor an' check that shit out, it's fuckin' brilliant an' I grabbed as much of it fo'ya as I could! Who am I kididn' go grab it all! What's stoppin' ya? It's all free ta you innit? So get on it! Especially now because Fi' dollar Billy tells me I was doin' too good a job liftin' shit – he tells me that, after I give him batch thirty nex' week, He's gonna pull down The SWAG Report volumes On through ten to make more space. So, in addition to grabbin' all o' this week's SWAG, treatcherself an' go back in my little archive before it's all gone!
