Holy shit! They’re over saturating YouTube with shitty ads. I love YouTube, I’m actually getting ready to get a YouTube tattoo on my eyelid, so I can always have a sweet reminder of my favorite website, oh boy oh boy.

Beginning around 2001-2002, AFI's Davey Havok and Jade Puget finally unveiled their black curtain on Blaqk Audio in Mar of this year with the release of “Bitter For Sweet.” And their latest, which seems to be channeling some Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode and Maybe some Echo and the Bunnymen, just recently uploaded their latest “Stiff Kittens” on their Myspace page last night.
