KELLY ALVAREZ
- "Hesher Boyfriend"
(download only)
This is what
happens when members of Peachfuzz, Teen Machine,
and Dramarama
spend too much time sitting around thinking about Cal Jam 2.

true story.
THE BLONDES - "Summer
Van"
(download only)
The band formerly
known as Eagle had this song lying around for about ten years.
Someone
decided it belonged somewhere else other than a scratched-up CD-R
inside the
Teenacide beach party boombox, so we dusted it off, legalized it,
and turned
it into a pot party classic during the summer of '08.
