| Mission of Burma – Weatherbox Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
from mission of burma's website:
I was living in the North End of Boston at the time, an extremely Italian section of town where I frequently felt like a trespassing insect. I had a small box (probably designed for carrying 45's) on which I had sprayed a blob of grey paint. (This was my post-punk briefcase). As I walked down the main street I heard a bunch of young toughs yell "Here comes Deputy Dan with his Weatherbox!" Of course I was intrigued, and looked around. Then I realized they met me as one of them tried to grab it out of my hands.
Later, I left it in a pub. When I went back to get it, the bouncer said "Are there any bombs in that?" Thus the title of the song, and the reason "bombs roll inside the weatherbox". |

Wouldn't it be kind of lame to create shirts or whatever of bands that have explicit stances against having merchandise? It's like, yeah, you obviously like the music, but do you understand what their message is? |

The part where everything stops and one of the members yells "OVERGROWN, OVERGROWN" is one of the best moments in any song, ever. |

| Sonic Youth – Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song) Lyrics
| 18 years ago

atthedrive-in, I agree with you on that, but I thought of the lyrics being about someone (I always interpreted it as people who were listening to the songs - the 'Youth' in 'Youth Against Fascism', but that's just me) who hears all these songs with very overt messages, and agrees with the sentiment of the song. The problem, though, is that 'it's the song I hate' - it's not the ideas, it's shitty music.
Also, Ian Mackaye's guitar part on this song is pretty awesome. |
