Following Fucked UP over the past few years has been like getting engrossed in The Wire, but much more life-enhancing.
I sometimes wonder if the apparent life enhancement is because: a) There are lots of lyrics about life. b) The sound of Damian's voice is the aural embodiment of human life. c) The music - I can't describe, but its something to do with balance. d)Or it might be something about the combination of these things, along with all the other stuff, that sends you off having weird thoughts about life the universe and everything.
After watching that vid, I started looking at the lyrics on the DCTL and started seeing some hidden monsters (I think).
The first few times I heard Crusades, I thought it was about crusading, and then I thought it was about the great circle of life and finally I saw the hidden monster - the Crusades lyrics are about gardening.
I think DCTL might be about a man who works in a lightbulb factory, falls in love with a girl, she dies...

FU, Doughboys with the Foo Fighters? Quite a tasty bill. Presume the Doughboys are headlining?

"bit expensive"
How Much ?
When you're done in Holland, come through Vegas in July.
Please.
Please.
Hey. Quick question. I did the BEGN and I want to review the record. Would FU rather people wait to publish reviews until the record it out?
Hey Chuck
I'm waiting till the 6th of June to release my review (It's released on the 7th in N.America)
Have no clue how Mike feels about it, maybe we'll get an answer if he's reading these blurbs while in chillin' in Berlin tonight
