This Bike is a Pipe Bomb

Three Way Tie for Last is like a punk rock "O Brother Where Art Thou." It made sense to put the two together. The everyman genuineness of good punk has a certain commonality with the everyman genuineness of old-time country and bluegrass. This Bike is a Pipe Bomb packages it all up in an album about the struggles of the imperfect heroes of boxing (among other things). If you want to construct your own reality and pretend that everything is effortlessly nice and happy, go listen to new age. If you want to listen to the real trials and tribulations of being human, This Bike is a Pipe Bomb is a good dose of just that.

By the way, Chuck will hate it for other reasons.
