    Background song: "Make it Wreck," by Squirtgun. We released this song in 2003 on the "Fade to Bright" album (Honest Don's/Fat Wreck). The music is by my brother Flav Giorgini, the arrangement and solo section are mine, and the lyrics are a collaboration, with the main lyrical line by Matt Hart (Squirtgun lead vocalist, and MFA with a focus on poetry), and several guest appearances -- most of which included original lyric contributions -- by many of friends including: Justin Sane (lead singer of Anti-Flag), Kepi Ghoulie (lead singer of the Groovie Ghoulies), Chris Bauermeister (of Jawbreaker), Mike Park (formerly of Skankin' Pickle, and founder of Asian Man Records), and Geovanny Durán (of El Guato, punk band from Costa Rica). The song is an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist anthem, inspired by the second US war in Iraq.
