Killdozer -- 12 Point Buck

This is an obvious first post for this place. An absolute classic for people with brains. These guys just finished a mini-reunion tour, to which you should have gone. I'm guessing that future shows, if they happen, will be limited by this. Yup, that's him.

Despite that somewhat depressing image [from some of the most brilliant lyrics ever written, to "The Tax Issues (and Substantiation Nightmare) Created by Providing Employees Cellular Telephones"...], these songs are smart, and funny, and absolutely essential. This is perhaps the only band/artist in the history of music whose appeal, for me, is primarily the lyrics. Which is not to say that the music isn't good, because it is. It's great, in fact, but this is some of the best social satire since A Modest Proposal, and all should hear it. I'll probably post their entire catalog eventually, but since this is the source of this blog's name, it makes sense to start here.
