Hot Karl, did you read about how Nike ripped off the cover to that Minor Threat album for their East Coast Skateboarding something-or-other Tour? Except they changed it to Major Threat.

Also, Dizzee Rascal apparently helped to design a shoe for Nike. What's up with that and when are the new Malkmus Airs coming out??

yeah, i read about that major threat tour thing. when my old band broke up, our singer went on to front a minor threat cover band called major threat. except, he wan't straight edge, and he stood on bar tables and squirted mustard all over everyone.

MALKMUS AIRS would be groovy for all the freshmens at the university of colorado, boulder. at least the business administration majors. all the other majors wear ANASTASIO AIRS (and ANASTASIO AIR REEF SANDALS).
