BYOP are local heroes. I love 'em, despite not being really in the age
demographic... Totally insane and fun. Their last CD vies for my fave
car disk with the Beastie Boys "To The 5 Boroughs", the latter getting
slightly more play as it has a rap about cheese sandwiches.

The eponymous BYOP disk may have a short shelf life, but it's highly
recommended if you don't mind grinning and pogoing. Any band that
demonstrates the punk-rockness of Nexus hubs is cool by me.

only tangentially bicycle-related, but I'm probably going to turn up when
The Bicycle Thieves play Iota in Arlington next week:

OK, so not at all bicycle-related. But I really dig "Loser of the Year."

Hah! That's very cool. I love the style of the video, but then I'm a
big fan of the emulation of the old black and white "over the type"
look.

Ha, well when I read "over the type" I thought I knew exactly what
you were talking about: I imagined a sort of 50's era black and
white TV show title screen with a text-over in a bold, contoured
typeface. And sure enough, when I clicked on Claire's link it was
just as you had (inadvertently) described it...

That band has chunks of other bands in their stool. "We Will Vacation
You Will Be My Parasol" is the song I want to die to. Violently, in a
riot.
