I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin/ quick to toast an mc just like an english muffin
My favorite band at the moment. This video only reinforces the notion that No Age is going to change the world. These two guys from Los Angeles (Dean Spunt and Randy Randall) have made the loudest record of the year, but yet their sound remains elusive. Mind boggling.

For most Americans (i.e. stupid people) Canada is sort of like mad-cow disease. Its something you hear about or make fun of every once and a while, but nothing that you really take seriously. Well, now that I am a resident of this fine country I am making it my business to show [...]
