sorry to be so me and ONE MORE POST, but (self-proclaimed peer-group-aimed) bangers are bangers

I absolutely trusted my parents' tastes but it was at my own pace. Maybe I was picked on for being a weird art kid but on the other hand I knew Jorge Ben's 'Africa Brasil' before I could shave because of them

exactly the kind of thing I want to make people know. I'm fine, I actually got a good six-or-so last night so I know I'm settling down. A race against time or something, I dunno. I just feel liberated is all.

another important realization: I think Motörhead was the real reason I was under the mistaken impression for a while that HHH was cool
