Long, interesting read. The dedication required is both inspiring and depressing.

Shit post:

I believe this song encapsulates all the important discoveries humans have made about giant squid:

funny video!

I wouldn't say that was a shitpost, quite on topic really! However I must say I have occasionally skipped this track when listening to Baterz, finding some of his genius comes through a bit stronger. Zombie Girlfriend, Target's Air-Conditioner and especially the Drowning of the Daddo Brothers (although that is a Bedridden track to be fair, but such a good one!).

Target's Air Conditioner, potentially the only song in history, including any future history, to incorporate the lyric "fingering chequered knits".

I feel bad for I have only a single upvote to give.

Also have to mention the out of this world genius of rhyming "I'm not the kind of person to do a thing by halves" with "track marks on my calves".

And all of the above barely scratches the surface.

Vale Baterz!
