It's Blog Action Day! I'm supposed to talk about climate change. So, ride your bike or walk somewhere today. And don't eat any meat today - the meat industry is one of largest human-created sources of carbon emissions. This shit matters! A small rise in sea-level from melting glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica will be devastating to the people in a poor, sea-level area like Bangladesh. Lives are at stake.
And here's a very nice ep from one of the greatest, most unashamedly political punk bands I know. And the Bouncing Souls side is ok. I will forgive Anti-Flag just about anything they do musically nowadays because this older material is so damn great. This release marked almost ten years of awesome, unmistakably unique punk albums from the band.
I should also mention that each band does a cover of the other on this split: The Bouncing Souls play Anti-Flag's "That's Youth" and Anti-Flag does The Bouncing Souls' "Freaks, Nerds, and Romantics". "Ever Fallen In Love" is also a cover of the original by the Buzzcocks and "We're Coming Back" was originally by Cock Sparrer (lots o' cocks here I guess).

Hmmm... I touched the subject posting the Oi Polloi! album few days agoand I seriously had no idea there was a blog action day. Coincidences are awesome. Will try the split! Been into punk a lot lately.
To add to the coincidence, as a generally unashamed meat-eater I did, again unknowingly, eat tofu today, yesterday and the day before (I usually cook for two/three days). "I can't believe it's not panda cub!"
Tofu is way yummier than panda cub.
also, you apparently have amazing psychic powers. plz share your secrets.
