Wait, did you anticipate receiving serious, mini-essay, SAT-acing answers from an all-caps DOOMER named Salem’s Pot? One that has mastered the stomach-rub/head-pat of dropping the needle on Dopethrone while taking a fiery, Olympic toke from Bongphaestus?
Really? You…uh…wanted to read about music that’s better heard? Strike that, better to be inhaled and held until it burns, until your vision wiggles and wobbles? Words just get in the way, man, like hungry cats and elderly drivers. See? You’re reading when you could be doing this:
Cool? Cool. Breeze through the following short five, then kill the monitor, chill out, and let the LP go long.
Although…
You know what? These Swedes’ prickly brevity is sorta reminiscent of certain bygone circulars that used to hit your mailbox still ponging from Kinko’s toner stank. Talking zines, my friend! And, in the age of the ALL O’ ME blog confessional, Salem’s Pot’s detached DGAF is, in a weird way, inspiring, recalling the masochistic, Mascis-esque interviews of the slack motherfucker set.
So, let’s do this up how it should be done: contrasted to hell, xeroxed to bits, and shot-through with that ol’ messy, lefty-scissors, cut n’ paste aesthetic. (No rampant typos, though. We’re better than thaf.) Erik Highter and Craig Hayes asked Salem’s Pot five questions, they told us to stuff it, light it, and listen to the DOOOOOOOOOOOOM. Can’t argue with the logic.
