Jawbox's "Savory"



Pinning the knife on the donkey. An old man wearing an oxygen mask. Children petting a dead dog that's just been opened as a birthday present. Yep, this is definitely a '90's rock music video. Funny how it's so serious.

This is your big statement, a girl dressed in her Easter best stabbing at cake and dancing with her friends to your less-than-palatable music?

The images, though not shocking anymore, were obviously an attempt to cause unrest by punks who were given the keys to the kingdom. And I can't blame em. I probably would have done the same thing. "That dog is really gonna mess with people, man. Good job."

Can you imagine a band like Jawbox or Shudder to Think being signed to a major label today? Oooh, I laughed for a good two minutes there.
