Laura Jane Grace’s surprise solo performance opening for Matt Skiba was the stand-out best performance at this year’s Punk Rock Bowling. Here’s video we recorded of the new song “Transgender Dysphoria Blues” that will be on the next Agianst Me! album.

Four Loco stains don’t stay in as well as we had hoped. Additional research forthcoming.
Danny from The Pillowfights has more shirts than anyone I know. She goes to about 16 shows a night and gets a new shirt from half the bands at each one. She started a pretty damn rad tumblr to catalog every shirt she owns and just got around to one of ours!
Day 44: BAND shirt, from NN2S comic by Mitch Clem. My friend Avi makes these shirts and his friend Mitch Clem does this awesome comic that is the reason for this shirt called “Nothing nice to say”. NN2S started out as a web comic and then Avi put it out as a book on his bicycle club/record label/book publisher/all around fun time reason for making stuff, silver sprocket bc! One of the characters apparently always wears band shirts, like me, and so I think Mitch just wrote the word “BAND” on his shirt in every panel to signify that.
I have never met Mitch Clem but I would like to some day. He once told Avi to thank me for writing a song about him, I didn’t actually write a song about him but maybe I should cause if he reads this his heart might break. I enjoy his comics and artwork very much and he is also in a band called the tigermilks that does belle and sebastian covers and I think that’s rad too.
We interviewed Jesse Michaels, from Operation Ivy and also the Jesse Michaels Thrash Metal Blog about not being an asshole. Read the interview
Something in this world is topsy-turvy when Jeff from BOMB THE MUSIC INDUSTRY is interviewing Jesse Michaels for VICE.
Its great, check it out. I’m going to pick up the new Classics Of Love record now.

Tornado Rider - I’m A Falcon
I’M A FALCON
VICIOUS BIRD VICIOUS BIRD
POWERFUL BIRD
this song is about being a falcon; don’t worry about it ok?
The Max Levine Ensemble at our secret HQ last weekend
Want to know what Fiona was all drawing about in the post right before this one? Check out this song, The Goat God, from Tornado Rider! Links: [Website] [Facebook] [Fan Tumblr Site!]
The Goat God from TORNADO RIDER’s Jark Matter album on Silver Sprocket! As interperted and drawn by Fionafix-it —
when do I get to be paid for drawing demons
like, who sends me the shoebox full of gold for doing this?
(inspired by these monsters)
My order from Silver Sprocket arrived yesterday. I bought Rob his birthday present from there which hes already guessed what it is, that poop, but I also picked myself up a mean Sean Wolf Andrew Jackson Jihad tee which I’ve been sporting today for a few extra bucks, and Silver Sprocket sent me a bunch of stickers and badges with my order! I love when companies do that. I get really stoked for my parcel, and then theres that extra something else fantastic you don’t expect that comes with! Polyvinyl have done this in the past with my orders aswell, one time they sent me a CD, posters and Taffy. Rad.
^TRUE AMERICAN HERO^
We have buttons and stickers and chains for your keys, we once sent annamarie a wheel of old cheese. Give us all of your money and your likely to boast, we packaged and mailed you James Doohan’s ghost. Before we sent drawings made by some of our bands, though they now have gila monsters where there used to be hands. We are mauraders of trinkets, We are sultans of swag, order from us and get complimentary bullshit in the bag.

Free New Song: This is Not a War
Hi gang! I hope your New Years and preceding holidays were good. I recently returned to Chicago after visiting Phoenix for three weeks to visit friends and family. What a great three weeks I’ve had!
Anyway, about two weeks ago Ben and I went into audioconfusion studios to record a few odds and ends and ended up with 3 songs, two for some Sweet Projects, and one for the thing that is called Occupy Wallstreet,, which we recorded with AJJ lifer and ultimate friend Dylan Cook. We admire the Occupiers commitment to non-violence and creating a fairer economy, and we hope that it continues until until it no longer needs to. This song is also kind of a prayer, wishing the greed that is undermining our country is motivated by love. I don’t want to believe that evil truly exists.
Here is my favorite perspective on Occupy Wallstreet, taken from the intelligent and funny Jay Smooth of illDoctrine.com : Click for awesome video
Here’s where you can download the song
Thanks for reading and take care,
-sean
