LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

KOKO

 

CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR MORE UPDATES.

"Blastitude" is a word coined by Angus MacLise, original drummer of the Velvet Underground and quite possibly the coolest hippie of all time. (cf. track four of his posthumous CD release The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda, released by Siltbreeze/
Quakebasket. Click HERE for immediate cf'ing.)

Blastitude is, um, stoked-ituded to welcome back the long lost . . .
