BKB WTF?!

Alright, I love Boy Kill Boy. In fact, to say that I love them is an understatement. For a good deal of the crazy, memorable things that have happened in my life, Boy Kill Boy has been there. When I was driving to school on summer mornings, BKB was there. When I was crying my eyes out for no apparent reason, BKB was in my radio. We go way back, you see.

It's a miracle I didn't actually break Civilian from listening to it too much and constantly transporting it from my car to my bathroom radio to my bedroom radio to other people's car...etc. So naturally I was ecstatic when I heard they had a new album. I rushed to Criminal and had to special order it because it wasn't in-stock.

The man said it would be an import-only, but I just said pssh! How much could it be? I ordered the Pipettes' album from Tower Records when it was only an import and it was only 12 dollars. The Horror's EP was import-only and that was just 6 dollars. How much could this one be?

Well I got the call from Criminal saying that my album came into the store. I fucking hopped, skipped, and jumped over, bounding in all smiles and shitting rainbows. I went to the clerk, who looks just like Brian Posehn, and asked him for my CD. I had 20 dollars in my pocket, which seemed like enough.

That CD is 43 motherfucking dollars! And import-only! I barely pay that much money for the dresses at Urban! I couldn't even believe it when he told me. I just asked him to put it on hold a little longer.

Now I need some help. Should I just suck it up and buy the CD? I mean, there's no other way I'm going to be able to get it and I really, really, really want the album. Or should I just pass and tell Criminal to let it go. Sigh.

I'm more torn up than a prostitute's vadge on this one.

Stars and the Sea

Okay, okay, most people get a blank stare when you talk about Boy Kill Boy. They are a band, from the UK, okay, from England. Act like you know. In '06, they came out with an album called Civilian. It is impeccable, one of the few records I can listen to in its entirety without being bored or tempted to skip certain tracks. Civilian is like so beyond the beyond. I could wax poetic and devoted about that album for ages, but now I have something newly AWEsome to wax on and off about.

Boy Kill Boy has just come out with a new album, called Stars and the Sea. I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing juuuust yet, but I did hear "Promises" in H & M and that sounded fantastic, just like their old stuff. There aren't any downloads, but I will provide a few videos so you can get a taste of their steez. Whoa, gross.

"Suzie"



"Civil Sin"



"Shoot Me Down"



Now that you are armed with the knowledge to make a responsible decision, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to purchase Civilian and then get Stars and the Sea. And with that I leave you with a K. Thx. Bai.
