I felt guilty about not having an actual post today, so I’m putting this second one up a little late. Much to the annoyance of my friends, I’ve never gotten into Jawbreaker.

This song was recorded on their 1993 tour when they played in Rapid City, SD. I don’t really remember their performance because they went on right after Sparkmarker who had just put on an amazing show.
