Battle of Ideologies

No longer just a place to find the definitions of words like slag or plonker (what are you a cockney street urchin?), UrbanDictionary.com is now the site of a grudge match. It hosts a wee battle to the finish for who defines the divisive phrases, "moonbat" and "wingnut." Having read a few of these, I have come to the conclusion that the failed abortions responsible for posting these all fit under another definish at the ol' urban dictionary.
Wait, is there an entry for fuckface? Why yes... yes there is.
What this all has to do with the band I don't know, but when I Googled lead singer Daniel Phifer looking for a photo, all I got was this:

A Case of the Mondays...

Dear Chumps,

Welcome to the new Aim Low Kid HQ. You ever hear of Aim Low Kid?
Here at the offices of Aim Low Kid International, our Mondays are just like yours: we shower, we shave, we eat a half grapefruit with Splenda, drink a piping hot cup of gravy-er, I mean, coffee... and then we get to work writing sweaty hot jams about the minutia of Southern living. Yes we're located in San Francisco, but did it ever occur to you that looking down upon the uneducated masses from out Ivory Tower in the North gives us a rare perspective on agrarian living? Moron.
So we sit here, and we write songs about what we think it might be like to live without amenities such as iPods, iPhones, iTunes, or even things not made by Apple... like, uh... bicycles. When we're finished, we sometimes contemplate practicing those songs, but we find it's more rewarding to learn facts and trivia. For instance, just today we wrote a song about how hard life can be when your plow breaks down and the crop is ready for harvest. Then we read a book about the ramifications of Kosovo declaring independence from Serbia.

In both cases we decided that a plow is totally unnecessary for a harvest.

But I digress... the reason we started a blog was to keep our many fans abreast of our constant metamorphosis. So let me just remind you, we've got shows coming up. And we're about to record a new album. And you're all, "But I didn't even hear the first album!" To which we angrily respond, "Guess you'll have to buy one! That is, if you haven't already wasted your money on the Rhianna/Avril Lavigne split 7" on Victory Records."


Calling it Skanktron seemed excessive.
Welcome to Aim Low Kid HQ. More to come, chumps.
