The commitment to finishing out the existing idea queue is manifest in this one; under normal circumstances, you don't make melodic hardcore videos when you're closer to 40 than 20, but this is an idea that dates back to when that wasn't true. Other stuff got in the way, but here it is completed, and resolutely earnest and irony-free. "Some say that rock critics hang on to rock music because they want to preserve their youth, but this is stupid: say rather that they want to preserve their rebellion."

I'm currently working on a punk rock GTO video, but in the process of cutting the VOBs for the first disc last night, I ran across the main sequence in this video, which is pretty much presented in order except for the typically-SH/INSO negative-space drop and the pseudo-lipsynch drop-in, and seriously, whenever you get 18-wheelers flying through the air, you need to either pick up "Convoy" or rummage through your Jerry Reed collection. Crashing through the tollbooths, though, is "Convoy" all the way......and anyone who hasn't dreamed of doing this IRL has obviously never driven in New Jersey.

If I'd done this two months earlier, it might have gotten into Hell 5, but I'm not going to sit on this thing for months and months waiting for Hell 6 to maybe drop, maybe never drop. Hence like INSO09 it gets published here rather than depending on someone else's package.
