Hi there! I'm Myron Freebid, the Punk. Take some time to read my articles. There's less than ten of them, so if you average one article read every half a minute (because they aren't very long, either), you are guaranteed to be finished within five minutes. Then you can "sniff some glue!" "Now!" "I want to!"
Never Take Friendship Personal is to be the new album from Anberlin, a Punk Rock Band containing a small word and a city.

There's been some big happenings in the punk rock world. If you want to start a band yourself, try stringing a sentence together with no spaces for a band name. For example: Theresarockinmyshoemom.  In other extreme punk rock news, Turbonegro is going back to the studio and Woodstock is still a load of crap.

The thing about punk music is that NOBODY CAN TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. It is now the 21st century and Johnny Rotten may be dead or old but NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHAT TO DO. You might be the same queen the Ramones didn't like but WE HATE YOU AND PINK FLOYD BOTH. But Steely Dan can be viewed as possible hipness currency. The standard unit of hipness currency is the mama. Steely Dan are currently at forty-three mamas.
A long time ago
Well, we all know Jericho changed their name to Smoke or Fire. It's not that they are uncertain which periodic table element they enjoy more--that's their whole name, rife with indecision.

Young punk: I like Smoke of Fire.
Mother: Well, which is it?

Contrast this scene with one from earlier, happier times.

Young punk: I like Jericho.
Mother: Yes, that certainly is my favorite biblical city as well.

But now my mind hearkens back to Bob Marley's 1978 tune "She's Gone," in which he warns us, "You'll never see smoke without fire." Little did we know in '78 how right he was, or what the 80's would be like. Hindsight is 20/20, of course.

Anyway, Smoke or Fire's new album,
Above the City, comes out March 22nd. Won't that be something?
