Punk Is Dead and New Music From Oxford Collapse…
NY Magazine took to the task of reminding us punk is dead (but don’t tell the punks) and the resulting piece does well to really highlight the delusion that can face teens. But they never judge the scene they’re observing which allows the reader to gain real insight into the lives of another generation of one day normal people, yuppies, burn outs, and dead.

Also, Subpop has released a single from the new Oxford Collapse something or other. It’s not bad.
