Hey, kids, do you like music? Us too! So here's maybe the longest bonus we've ever recorded, and it's All! About! Music!

Specifically, it's all about 1997's (?) most (?) popular (?) label compilation album from a label whose political bent was ... a surprise to Clsn, anyways, because he is a literal child whomst lives, evidently, in a tent, secludedly (in a place where getting well-informed is not possible).

You may want to listen along, so here is a link what will help you in doing so:

JWF NOTES: Also it turns out that most of the bands I remembered as being on smaller labels WERE on a smaller label -- sorta -- but, honestly, it was the same label wearing a different outfit.

Crisis Records was a Revelation subsidiary founded by the bass player of Unbroken and a couple other dudes with the sole purpose of signing female-frontend bands, which is pretty cool. So, Whirlpool, Chinchilla, and Beta Minus Mechanic were all Crisis acts. Then one of the guys went rogue and started releasing records by "dude-fronted hardcore acts" like Sparkmarker and Will Haven. Due to internecine fighting and a lack of sales, the subsidiary label folded, and some of the catalog was re-released on the main Revelation label.)

Also, I dunno HOW I fucking forgot to mention this, but the Supertouch LP was entitled "The Earth is Flat" and that shit cracks me up.

Here's that hilarious Shelter video for a song about how premarital sex is bad. The video is hilariously 1990's and includes lots of JNCO's and chokers and, for some reason, Ray Cappo flying around a city upside down. And the song is hilarious.
