Alright there ya filthy animals,
So how's things in your life? Feelin' pretty good feelin' pretty fine? Howzat itch on ya? Me? I'm ridin' a caffeine jag of Dave Grohl proportions – I mean I'm FLYIN' baby! And do ya know why? I been pillagin' and pilferin' my weaselly black guts out to find a new bag o' fresh, mountain-grown SWAG to lay on ya. Nobody works harder for ya than I do baby!
So what'd I find for ya? All kinda stuff, and some of it's pretty primo. Did you know that Old Man Markley signed on with Fat Wreck Chords? I foun'at out at around four o'clock this morning an' I stole a track for ya an' it just SHINES. Bein' the "journalist" I am, I usually put these columns in alphabetical order in an attempt to maintain some sense of – whadayacallit – impartiality, but ya gotta hear 'dis – the new song is GREAT!
What else? 'At's not enough for ya? A'right ya picky bitches, I also weaseled out some brand spankin' new stuff from Gary Wilson, Marnie Stern, OFF! ('At'sa new thing from one o' the guys'at used it be in Black Flag – I figure 'at oughtta make that punk Bill Adams happy), some Intelligence (we need more o' that innis column I think), a buncha 40 Watt Hype anna complete new EP from The Crocodiles – annat's jus'a tip o' the iceberg! You gotta hear this stuff man! You owe it to yourself! So why're you still starin' as this? Go forth and steal! Swipe! Take it all baby!
Love an' sloppy kisses,
yr ever-lovin' Don Loder.
