[kj] Xmas songs Re: OT: Blue Christmas

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I saw the New Bomb Turks here in Austin at their reunion show at Emo's 
this past May, 2008. One of the few bands to keep the REAL punk flame 
alive during the 90s.

Below is the New Bomb Turks' cover of Wire's "Mr. Suit," which they 
played the night I saw them this year in Austin  -- an insane night of 
energy-packed chaos, I might add. I can't believe there is no YouTube 
footage of this gig. It was pretty incredible, but it also gave me 
pneumonia. (true story - anti-biotics, bed-ridden for weeks.)

Rockabilly dudes + Slayer/Napalm Death/Carcass heshers + slimy shirtless 
dudes + hawt mohican chicks with metallic silver mini-skirts doing stage 
dives, moshing, circle-piting, etc., with their skirts pulled up, 
jumping into all of us....  got sick for a good week after this pure 
show of sweaty, filthy, humid energy:

The New Bomb Turks are pure rock and roll....
