Eric's Trip!!!!!
They'd better come over here as well then. They'd better.
MISSION OF GODDAMNED BURMA

Clipse are fresh, yo
i liked the 2007
background page better, as it had my ugly mug in full view !
there's something very very funny
about clipse being so popular with indie types, and them consequently ending up on these festival lineups, spitting their tales of crack-slangin in between sets by okkervil river and wilco.
i bet they're a bit bemused by it all
or they slap them on
at 5am
