Oh, y'all, check the shit out of How I Became the Bomb, namely the dope-ass track "Killiing Machine."
I have no explanation for why I'm talking like this. Must have something to do with being number two.

How I Became The Bomb is amazing. Soooooo catchy. The song Secret Identity is my favorite, I don't think they've ever been to Seattle though, at least, not in the recent past. I'm hoping for them @ Bumbershoot.

we're super excited to play. last summer was one of the funnest weeks ever, and this summer will be even better - mostly because now I know the importance of eating at least one meal a day at The Grit. Michael Stipe, you cook some good veggies!
