Please confirm this for me A-Law, but isn't Michael Franti, of Spearhead suckosity, the same guy who was the mastermind behind The Disposable Heroes of Hipocrisy? I had forgotten this connection until this evening, when, whilst driving home from the Constantines/Weakerthans suckfest at Graceland, I heard the "Television, the Drug of the Nation" song. I remember losing my copy of the DHOH album my freshman year in college (i'm pretty sure my RA, kristin, stole it) and being mildly pleased when i replaced it this year when watters traded me all his cds for some other stuff. until i heard it on KEXP on the way home tonight. i fucking hate that song and that guy so much i could shit. is/was TV really fucking him up that bad? if the guy is that worked up about "the cathode ray nipple" then he might just wanna move abroad. ...oh wait, they have tv everywhere you fucking loser idiot piece of shit. instead you're just gonna have to commit suicide if we don't do something about this "TV Problem" ASAP. motherfucker he is the absolute picture of everything that's wrong with the world today. fuck fuck fuck fuck i hate the disposable heroes of hipocrisy.
a-law please confirm that the dickwad behind this song is, in fact, the same fucking fuckstick we saw as Michael Franti and Spearhead at Thekla in Oly a couple years back. you must remember the show as it was undoubtedly one of the worst you've ever seen. you were gung ho on going and i thought it would suck ass. and i was right. we left halfway through because the whole "get preached to by an uncharasmatic hippie black guy while he delivers boring, shitty folk-funk hippie bullshit crap" thing wasn't working for us?

Oh yeah, and Eminem rulz. Whatthefuckever, chief. Have the immortal A-Law burn you a mix of what turned him on in the first place - Franti fell off, but it was a decent stretch before the inevitable happened. I wish Chuck D had lasted that long. Television IS a fuckin' drug. And Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury is more than just one song.
Fifty bucks to the man who can make me feel what Marshall Mathers has to say. Fuck that shit. Don't even bother trying, chumps. I've heard it all, and the Benzino disses, too. People used to try to tell me goddamned Fred Durst had flavor and they're all sucking my chode now.
National insecurity is at an all-time high and Franti is a prophet who I think you oughtta listen to. Up until the second Spearhead album, anyway. Whatever. What do I know compared to the omnipotent major labels and the general public? Sheeit.

What turned me on to Spearhead was Home, which is a great album with memorable songs with catchy hooks. His politics also jive with my own for the most part. Home has a good balance of music and message that went completely off kilter in subsequent albums.
If I remember correctly, the reason we left that show was because I was tired of being told "everything's gonna be alright" every other line as though Franti shoved a pole up Bob Marley's ass and danced his corpse all over Olympia.
When I heard DHOH I wasn't terribly impressed. I picked it up used and listened once. I've never had the notion to listen again. Home, on the other hand, I could listen to again and again.
I don't understand this rage you feel towards this particular artist. I bet you could sit through a spin of Home and find some things you like about it.

I need to learn how to use this newfangled Internet thing. I need to learn how to use this newfangled Internet thing. I need to learn how to use this newfangled Internet thing. I need to stop drinking so much before I sit down to use the computer.
Whatever. DHOH was still cool.
