In reference to the line where Sean (the lead singer of AJJ) sings, "I've got a bad case of the yellow flashlight blues.":
In 2012, in the band’s hometown of Phoenix, AZ, someone left a series of yellow flashlights around town which had been turned into explosives. When people picked up the flashlights and turned them on, they exploded.
It’s unclear whether Sean has the blues from the cruelty of a world in which people injure strangers with improvised explosives, or whether the world’s ugliness makes him feel like inflicting random pain himself.
