this song is genuinely so good literally 3 minutes 18 seconds of sentences never spoken before
- ily Pat saying, "Okay,, it's been a long, hard day." at the beginning of First Song on Ramshackle Glory's Live the Dream album
- ily when they finish playing Personal Space Invader on PWCEP and Ben says, "Sounds like shit,,"
- ily Pat giggling and then going, "Alright motherfucker!" before singing This City Is Killing Me from his split album with Ceschi
- Ily Ben and Sean discussing cd prices and Sean saying, "We usually do about $5-$7" and Ben says, "You should've said $7-$10, dude-" and Sean says, "$7-$10!" before playing Going to Georgia from the Live At Trunk Space album
- ily when Jello Biafra says, "Here's another one for the police!" before playing Goons of Hazard on Dead Kennedys' Mutiny on the Bay album
- ily when Sean says, "We have two more and one of them is not ours. One of them belongs to The Mountain Goats, from North Carolina." before singing Going to Georgia on the Live At Trunk Space album. Because,, it was 2005. Prefacing who the Mountain Goats were dates that album in a really beautiful way because like. Look at them now. Both bands. It's silly but it's a very sweet like ,,look how far both bands have come,, kinda thing. Idk.
- ily when Sean Bonnette says, "Rigby? I'm gonna fucking stab you. Don't look at me with your shitty eyes :/ oh are we recording? Okay :3" in the beginning of Uno Mas Cerveza Por Favor from their split album with Flaspar/Golden Boots
- ily Pat saying, "This one is for all the ladies, it's about how you should all start a kickass rock and roll band." before playing For A Girl In Rhinelander on the WDU Live in Plattsburgh album
- ily Sean saying, "If you guys feel compelled to clap after we play,, please don't. Because that would be loud." before playing Jesus Saves during a show that wasn't even legal to host in a hotel room in Florida from their Holiday Inn Gainesville album
I know I'm missing so many, and i know some of these examples don't count as much because they're from live albums, but those shows were so important to the people there and I'm happy that the audio was preserved in a way where they're still being talked about so many years later.
one thing i never get tired of in songs is when they include some sounds from the recording booth like a laugh at the end, aΒ βwas that good?β or like, the sounds of the guitar being put down, a chair creaking. itβs nice how music can be used as an escape but also something that ties you right back down to earth. it will affect you so deeply & then ur like wowβ¦ you just played that. itβs grounding & magical & just one of my fave things ever!
anyone else listen to the dennedy kennedys? the circle jircles? the sistol pistols? the mismits? ranrid? minor thrinor? bain brains? blag flag? social docial? anyone?

This is a good post, happy i saw it. Proud of you (sincere)
one of the reasons ajj is superior is that no other band seems to convey the experience of the cognitive dissonance of trying to live as a βgood personβ and act according to morals in the first world and mitigate the harm and damage you inflict upon countless others simply by virtue of your day-to-day activities as well as they do. itβs a constant undercurrent to almost every one of their songs and they have mastered that particular conundrum so expertly
itβs like. you inhabit the belly of the beast. you try to be good. you try to be good. you try to be good. you try to be
