...Speaking of Metallica, if Lars found out that Link 80 covered "Harvester of Sorrow" with trumpets, he'd get more medieval on these clowns than he did on that kid from Napster.

Friends don't let friends listen to bad podcasts, that's why I'm telling you to check out BREAK THIS CITY! What makes this podcast better than the other podcasts? Does your current podcast... ...encourage you to gamble? ...tell you the meaning of the day/week/month? ...keep you up to date with current Oakland events? ...podcast teach you the difference between real & fake? ...have live music, guest appearances, and fan participation? ...give you advice? BREAK THIS CITY tries harder and is good to the last drop. You deserve a break today, so think different, and just do it!
Thanks for friending the newest organization in the fight to promote ska at the national level through collaboration amongst the bands, labels, and promoters!
Check out the myspace and get active!
