A GM PROMO PIC
Once in a good year or so I pick up a pencil, put down a sheet of paper, and do some good old fashion drawing. Now, I suck at the art of drawing, don’t get me wrong, but for every insider at art, there must be an outsider.
Bid 4 Good
Feel extra special that the money you bid will be going to support Haiti and not some scammy profiteer in Pittsburgh.
Bid on a variety of items (t-shirts, a guitar, a wallet, etc) from independent and non-independent musicians:
Bidding For Good has you covered.

I’m sure this shirt will be won at a price tag of over $100! It’s not like I don’t want to help Haiti, because I really do. I might do a last minute bid if circumstances allow it.
Sex. Explicit Hunx T-Shirt
NOT SAFE FOR WORK…BUT WHO READS KLYAM AT WORK ANYWAY?
Speaking of Hunx and His Punx…I was bored and made a Wikipedia page for the band. The band is noteworthy as fuck so I don’t want the asshole who deleted my Box Elders article to go ape shit on this one too. Dickhead.
Vivian Girls @ Great Scott
KLYAM will be in attendance…most likely.

Pretty spiffy illustration right there. Actually, basically every illustration at this guy’s site is awesome.

Rage TV
When MTV was slightly better, but still sucked. Check out parts 2 and 3. I hope Rage does a full fledged tour and hits up Boston.

Ian’s Integrity
I’ve always agreed with many of his views and maybe not musically, but he has inspired me lol in various ways. I think it’s reasonable to say a band is no longer “Punk” if they sign to a major label, but for me that doesn’t mean they instantly become nothing. That Rage record is quality whether there’s a little Epic sign or a little Dischord sign on it.

Comments: These guys create some of the catchiest, funnest, Rock and Roll around! Their live show is incredibly entertaining, especially due to drummer/keyboardist (yep, he plays both simultaneously!), Dave Goldberg’s exqusite dance moves/antics.
I’d rather post live versions, but they just don’t do justice to the studio versions. The videos themselves, that is, not the actual performances.
P.S. Glen and other Klyamers, why haven’t we done more BS on here like WE?!

I’d like to do more than dance with those femmes!
Of course, I mean hold their hands….
