    My fav video of the day is from Dropkick Murphys. "Who'll Stand With Us?" is a rallying cry so sincere it's almost a cartoon. But Joe Hill would be proud.• 1d

    My fav video of the day comes from Cincy #folkpunk duo Bent Beak. In "Train Derailment" our heroes wield swords and mount flying cats. If that's not enough reason to click on something, I dunno man. That's on you.• 2d
