Today I recieved the following from Lach:

                see you at the Fest brotha.
                                                                              
  Antithesis by Lach


   Antisongs radiate triumphant defeat
   Antisongs go at the speed of night
   Antiwriters cherish the cast out
   Anti is by fame destroyed
   Anti would rather sleep than write, fuck than write, drug than write
        But they write anyway and most of their songs are about
        sleeping, fucking and drugging.
   Anticouples always breakup
   Young antis are kings. Old Antis are priests.
   Women Antis attract male harems.
   Anti is made out of wood and rope
   Anti can never sell-out.
        As soon as it does it ceases to be
        Anti or becomes even more so.
   Anti is wounded
   An Antiwoman is Mrs. Peel with a guitar
   An Antiman is the fifth Beatle
   Sober or drunk an Anti is intoxicated
   Antifolk is Hank Williams meets The Sex Pistols
   Antifolk is people who are against
   Anti is not cool
   Anti is always about to leave wherever it is
   There is no antifashion for all fashion is reaction and
   Anti doesn't react it responds.
   This is what is known as Antireactionary.
