"EATING IS BELIEVING."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on the "Fat EP" by American punk rock band the DESCENDENTS, released under New Alliance Records in 1981.
A1: "My Dad Sucks"
2.) "Mr. Bass"
B1: "I Like Food"
B2: "Hey Hey"
B3: "Weinerschnitzel"
OVERVIEW: "Quick, immediate, goofy, fun -- Fat and the Descendents in general in a nutshell. Auckerman turned out to be the genius addition to the original trio, with the ultimate in bratty sneering whines and yelps and a perfectly gone sense of humor. He actually became even more high-pitched with time -- here sometimes he sounds at points more like an early Black Flag vocalist -- but he's still got it down just right.
The band merrily bashes and crashes behind, combining Wire's sense of "get done and go home" with poppy L.A./O.C. hardcore hooks. The result was a hyperspeed trashing of modern youth Kultur circa 1981, where the song titles in some cases took longer to read than to listen to the tunes as a whole.
"My Dad Sucks" starts the whole thing and stops just as abruptly, only to dive into the story of "Mr. Bass," namely the adventure of said fish and his eventual appearance "on my wall." And so forth -- those demanding really deep thoughts from the band's music should look elsewhere. The most appropriate track of them all is the 15-second "I Like Food" -- "turkey legs and raw fish eyes/teenage girls, with ketchup too!" -- while "Weinerschnitzel" is even shorter and even crazier, detailing an order at said hot dog joint with barely room to breathe."

This makes me HAPPY.....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛💛💛💛💫💫💫💫💫💫💫Edward Snowden was granted Russian citizenship via a decree from President Vladimir Putin, according to Russian media. The U.S.-born dissident was granted Russian citizenship in a sudden decree on Monday, though he’s been residing in the country since 2013, several state media outlets reported. He sought and was temporarily granted asylum in the country after blowing the whistle on the National Security Agency’s use of mass surveillance. After several renewals, in October 2020 he was granted permanent residency in the country, according to U.S. News. Snowden was already allowed to travel freely in the country as part of his residency permit, but citizenship will give him added benefits. The whistleblower has served as a constant critic of the U.S. government in exile through social media and several media appearances. #snowden #shailenewoodley #allegiant #divergent #biglittlelies #thefaultinourstars #hazelgracelancaster #shailenewoodleyfans #tfios #whitebirdinablizzard #beautiful #thespectacularnow #thedescendents #perhapsokaywillbeouralways #nononoyes #flawless #hazeleyes #insergent #love #tfiosbook #okay #tfiosmovie #thefaultinourstarsmovie #thefaultinourstarsfandom #guswaters #edwardsnowden #theamazingspiderman #anonymous #rhysifans #thelastletterfromyourlover https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBD3JZMWS9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hey ho, Castricum!
June 2018 is most certainly the busiest month in the band’s life until today. As mentioned before, we are in the process of recording our (new) album. One day we also went from the studio straight to play at the Aan Lager Wal festival, which we loved, loved, loved. If you want to know what you missed out, or what the fuss is about, check out our music videos (”Wrong” and “Special”) the best parts of the videos were recorded there.
So we have another week left from recording and then we’ll focus on our upcoming gig with Lone Wolf and Stage Banter in Castricum on 30th of June. We hope to catch you there!
