One Giant Bunghole: 22 Years and counting…

Hi, nice to meet yah!

What the fuck? What the hell?  What is this bull-shit?

What is it exactly that you’ll find on Sex Sux (Amen)?

1.  Mixes that I compile, either scientifically, or randomly.

2.  Music reviews, mostly about 45′s, or 7 inches, since they’re cheap.

3.  Concert reviews, about the booming Providence, RI, punk scene.

4.  Band profiles of musicians I’d like to profess my love towards.

5.  Film, comics, and book reviews that I spring from my loins from time to time.

Mostly, you’ll find 1-4 on a consistent basis.

Warning: riting may suffer from my over-the-top passion for certain pieces of music/film/art/comics/books/etc…

See: Future Wooden Shjips review for more information.

In conclusion:

I’m shootin’ straight from the hip,

Taking no prisoners,

Living for the moment,

Eating Texas Toast,

Crushing Cliche’s like it’s nobody else’s business,

And sticking up for the bad guys for once.

So stop making sense,

Open up your house to strangers,

Sit down, stand up, sit down again,

Say cheese and die, and, of course,

Treat me like a dog.
