A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.

None More Black - Oh, There's Legwork
None More Black is a New
Jersey-based punk rock outfit on Fat Wreck Chords, formed by lead
singer/guitarist Jason Shevchuk after the demise of his previous band,
Philadelphia's Kid Dynamite. Jason left Kid Dynamite so that he could finish
film school, and "to sort some things out." While at school, Jason
had written some songs and would play them with his roommate Dan Gross and a
drum machine. By 2000, they had a second guitarist and a real drummer. That line
up soon fell apart, but by 2001 Jason and Dan had recruited Jason's brother
Jeff, along with a new drummer. After recording a 7" for Sub Division
Records, that line up fell apart, this time leaving only Jeff and Jason. In
2002 (after a few more line-up changes) a solid line up was established,
featuring Paul from Kill Your Idols on bass. A demo was recorded, circulated,
and the band went on to release three full-lengths and two EPs. Their most
recent album, titled "Icons", was released on October 26, 2010 by Fat
Wreck Chords.
Their name originates from a line in mockumentary movie This Is Spinal Tap.
Several of the band's song titles are references to jokes from the television
show Seinfeld.
The track I am going with is Oh, There's Legwork which appears on the EP Loud
About Loathing. It is a great catchy song and I have always loved Jason's
vocals. This shows them off in a great way.
