NOTHING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE, HAS MATTERED TO ANYONE

Chicago’s The Killer have released 1 new track on their myspace page from their upcoming album “Not All Who Are Lost.” Jesus Christ. The drums sound like an old machine gun. So punishing. Sounds like the band is further developing their sound from the more traditional hardcore, to the faster, more chaotic sound we started hearing on their last album “Better Judged By 12 Than Carried By 6.” These guys can do no wrong.

The new record comes out June 23rd on Organized Crime Records, and you out-of-towners will get another chance to see them at Burning Fight. Get siked.

The Wrap-Up

Alright, I’m back from visiting my family for the Holidays, which turned out to be a great time. My sister surprised us with a visit from Texas, so my stay was a little longer than expected, but all in all, it was a much needed chill-out.

Amongst all the chaos with shopping and holiday parties, I finally got my bike! Here’s a photo from when I assembled it at work..

 

 

Bike is KILLER. It’s up on the trainer right now, from which I was just riding while watching The Simpsons Movie (sorta sucked).

Also in Holiday-related news, check out this sweet 4-Leaf Clover my bro got for me. Get jealous

Alright, now back to Dexter

tis the season…for a new bike!

 I’m anxiously awaiting my new single-speed bike! I ordered this sexy piece from IRO last week, and have since been checking my email for a tracking number almost ever other hour. In my teenage years I was pretty big into BMX, and even worked at a bike shop for a short stint. As a result of riding so much / hard, I blew out my knees pretty bad and ended up needing knee-therapy. I distinctly remember the old knee specialist summarizing with: “I’ve only seen knees like yours on elderly men, and you’re only 17…” Comforting. In any case, I could certainly use the exercise, and have wanted an activity I can immerse myself into once again. (Fuck you World of Warcraft!) Expect a full breakdown once the beast arrives early this week…
