Black Hammah!

So although he may not write for the site superoften or even read it all the time, the Black Hammer is an integral part of our team, and my motherfucking boy. Regretfully, the lingering effects of a vicious testicular malfunction (no shit!) kept me grounded in Westchester, but even without me, our boy has crossed that threshold into manhood. Happy Birthday, Matty.

"I'm a Loner Dottie, A Rebel..." by the Get Up Kids

"Bring it on Home to Me" by Sam Cooke

The Black Hammer made it a lot easier for me to admit to liking the Get Up Kids and I wouldn't know nearly as much about Gospel, Soul, and Sam Cooke as I do now, if it weren't for this guy.
