"Stupid Punk Song" is... well... stupid. I woke up one morning and the entire song, lyrics and all, was stuck in my head. I let it rattle around for a few days before putting it down on my new 8-track. I played it for Break Even once but they…

Early Prime Meridian song, also known as "Mega Closer" as we used to stretch out the ending in huge Rock fashion.
