The Columbines

There is a Venn diagram you never knew existed, where the family you always wanted collides with the filthiest urges ever to spring forth from a caveman’s cock.

Bang in the middle is a new plane of reality, where pulsing rhythms rut with dirty farfisa whines, heartbreaking harmonies sweet talk the bluest of blue notes and everything is drowning in a fuck-ton of ass.

In this strange place quiet men growl like old pipes, Danzig is a chick with a better voice, tambourines, theremins and oil drums rain from the heavens like dying birds and Wilma Flintstone’s hotter cousin keeps everything together like crazy glue. Sometimes children even get up and show grown-ups how it should be done, singing songs twice their age in ways you wish you could.

Super-scientists refer to this as The Columbines — Tommy Alpha
