After hating every new rapper since (checks stone tablets) Ma$e, I actually like this, so I guess I’m back to being relevant again!

I saw them at a small club in Nashville on their first tour, opening for Mike Watt. Eddy Vedder played drum with Hovercraft. It was a helluva thing for my little teenaged brain to take in.
