Finding nothing in the racks (even at 20% off the sticker price), I wandered over to a rack wherein they usually store punk stuff. I noticed a thin gent wearing a vintage t-shirt of my NYC hardcore heroes, Kraut (featuring the cover of their second LP, Whetting the Scythe). "Kraut.... nice!," I exclaimed while gesturing to the shirt. I looked up and suddenly realized it was none other than Kraut guitarist Doug Holland himself. Once I realized this, I practically dropped to my knees ala Wayne Campbell's "We're not worthy" stance (embarrassing Holland in the process). We chatted for a bit. I asked him why their hilariously rude b-side, "Matinee" (as in "I'm fuckin' my girl at the....") was never appended to any of their compact disc collections and only available on a rare Killed By Death compilation. He went onto explain that said track was basically just a Ramones homage and only meant to be a limited thing. He handed me a flyer advertising a show coming up at the Blender theater. Kraut will be playing alongside Reagan Youth, Blanks `77 and a host of others on May 22nd. I'm going to try to be there. So should you. In any case, Doug was a totally cool, approachable and overall good guy.

In any case, here's the track in question I was talking with Doug about. It's not safe for work ... or anywhere else, really. Turn it up.
