Back in 1997, there was a punk house in my hometown of Fargo, ND. Tons of rad bands played there, and it got pretty wild at times.
This episode is made up of songs that remind me of that house and those days.
I used to stay up all night listening to these records with Leif and Weez and BBF and whoever else happened to be around on any particular night. Leif and Weez were getting records in the mail daily back then so we always had something new to listen to.
Anyway, these songs got a lot of play from us back then, and they still do from me almost 20 years later.
