Back again, bringing you bangers like a benevolent butcher. Alliterate now! Today's tasty morsel is the Nation Of Ulysses with the playground law smash A Kid Who Tells On Another Kid Is A Dead Kid, another mixtape favourite from back in the day, and even before I heard the track I knew from the title it was probably going to be good, and lo and behold I was right, as always! It's scratchy american punk with bratty shouting in a K Records vain, and remains my favourite track of theirs ever, a lovely bassline and feedbacking guitar going into a smash up your bedroom style guitar fuzz with a rocking chorus, if you don't love this then this guy will probably not like you, and that's not cool.



Common sense. Simple, common sense.


The Nation of Ulysses was an autonomous state of the Americas between 1988 and 1992, presided over by Mikhael Gorbachev's illegitimate brother Andy Gorbachev, and this track was the national anthem. President Andy passed a decree that whenever it was played at official occasions any visiting dignitaries had to form a circle pit and do spinning roundhouse kicks on pain of death. The execution of a delegation from Luxembourg during a state dinner led to the Nation disbanding and fleeing to Uruguay where they remain, fugitives from the law. This is lifted from their wikipedia article which is here:
