Stop bathing now, boys and girls. Load up on malt liquor and Parliaments. Buy some really baggy pants, and Manic Panic out that natural color of yours. Summer's gaining on us, and that means the Vans Warped Tour will be rolling through your town. That ugly, red-haired stepchild of summer festivals is back.
Not only that, but the sexy kids at Side One Dummy Records have put out a teaser compilation of this year's roster, so you can get familiar with the bands before you get there, and look like you're really down with the punk scene.
52 fucking songs, kids! That's a whole lot of listening. Not that it's all so great. I heard a few bands I'll definitely be in the bathroom for. Or I'll just pray that I get drunk enough to be stone deaf. But the bad is only a handful.
I went and made a new compilation of my favorites. You know, something I can do my pilates to in the morning. I put the Dropkick Murphys tune on there ("Walk Away"), this badass Casualties song ("Made in NYC"), a band I'd never heard of called Western Waste (who seem to possess the spirit of classic Sick Of It All on "Burn Inside"), and a whole bunch more (NOFX, Less Than Jake, Kicked in the Head, and Allister).
Somehow, they even managed to find an Andrew W.K. song I can tolerate. If I close my eyes, and let myself forget that a greasy-haired metalhead wannabe in a halter top is singing it, I can keep my Baba ganoush down.
Check out sideonedummy.com for more band info, and warpedtour.com to find out when the rock 'n' roll rodeo is coming to corrupt young minds near you. I'll be there, scoping out the jailbait, dehydrating myself with a water bottle full of Mickeys.
