Swingin’ Utters - Five Lessons Learned
Armchair Martian - S/T
Samiam - You Are Freaking Me Out
https://fatwreck.com/collections/swingin-utters/products/five-lessons-learned
This record has a lot of personnel. We are shockingly positive about this record. Are macbook cords caviar for cats? Should you trust that car from your gearhead friend? What are the potential consequences of befriending that mature student in your art class?

Albums Discussed:
Snuff - Tweet Tweet My Lovely
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Fucked Up - Dose Your Dreams
https://fatwreck.com/products/tweet-tweet-my-lovely
Snuff: a ticking timebomb. Humor, ability, and nine different tempos. What a deadly combination. Ben makes a god damn fool out of himself reading tweets he thinks are funny. “I love this 70 minute record.”

Most of this record is about alcohol.
