And even if I have to go to Claremont
Well I guess I'll just have to go to Claremont
Let me go
Let me lie low

Yeah but you're going to do what you wanna do
No matter what I ask of you
And you send your dark messengers to tempt me
I come from Chino so all your threats are empty

Grieves

Based on that i did not watch the video and my opinion of you has gone down even further because you brought such shit to my attention..

You didn't watch the video but took the time to read that article? I'm more of a listen to it and form my own opinion type person. Who knows...maybe these guys will be the Shaggs/Legendary Stardustcowboy/Holy Modal Rounders/Fugs of the new millenium? Maybe in 30 years everyone will be playing screamo-crunk and have shaggy black hair with bleach in the front, and have guaged ear piercings and nautical star tattos...Maybe magazines like NME and websites like Pitchfork will be all over this band for being so ahead of their time...Ever think about that grieves? Ever think about that??? Yeah...Didn't think so.

Hahaha...This statement is completely true:

[quote]turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile."[end quote]

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

EDIT: If they had any intent of seriousness, then the above comment remains.
If they had the intent of purely messing around and trying to make something funny, the above comment remains with an added "it's just a pure waste of time".
