oh yeah.. keep one foot in the gutter, one fist in the gold.

Don't worry about feeling out of step Clew. Most of this stuff is so heavy you wouldn't like it.

And believe me, I will keep my feet and my fists where they should be.

Gotcha. Despite that, I think Scissorfight, Melvins and The Sword would be right down your alley.

fine. i'll buy 'em. they better be good. besides buyin' online at cdnow or some place, you got a better suggestion where i could purchase such material for which to aid my utter rage?

Nope. That'll probably do. If they don't have it then go directly to the band's website or find their label and buy it from them. That's the best way to support the scene.
