The state of things and stuff (and junk).

"Does punk rock really cause vertigo for everyone?"

That's "vertigo in everyone"
Where's that grammar checker you were going on about?
(Though "Vertigo for Everyone" does make for a good slogan.)

Vertigo is a natural high, just fall back and enjoy it.
For some non-vertiginous punk bands see * below.

This is shear genius:

"And worst of all: the smell. It’s like a toilet monster
made of bleu cheese shits, asparagus piss, and
garlic mushroom breakfast cereal vomits walked in
here and belched."




* Punk bands that inspire(d) awe and very little vertigo:

Streetlight Manifesto (beautiful stuff and no vertigo,
        ska-punk never causes vertigo)
The Dead Milkmen (parody at its finest, Big Lizard in
        My Backyard is one of the finest albums ever produced)
The Velvet Underground(punk? Who cares, its got Lou Reed)
Dead Kennedys (the best ever and ever)
Bad Brains (especially their reggae-punk)
Sex Pistols (ok, it's vertigo and ridiculously bad music...
        but esthetic sacrifices are required to experience the
        sublime majesty of Johnny Rotten and, well, Sid Vicious)  
Fugazi (virtuosity)
Conflict (protest is hard and they do it well)


Rumack: I won't deceive you, Mr. Striker. We're running out of time.
Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
Rumack: I'm doing everything I can... and stop calling me Shirley!
