How cool would it be if your girlfriend were one of those super-hot rockabilly chicks? You could still be you, in your regular ‘nowadays' clobber, but your girlfriend would be a cross between Cherry Valence and an underwear commercial. Just think of it, man. Anyway, BAMA LAMA is having a Hawaii themed NYE party, so you should borrow some Murray's hair pomade and head down.

Don't let The Emergency's name fool you - as much as I'd love to tell you that they've packed in some air-horn, sirens and earthquake sound effects, into their new album well, I just can't. It would be a lie.
So now that we've established that, let's reposition our thinking about Dreams That Money Can Buy away from simple word association to something more complex, along the lines of, hmmm, let's say cold city streets, illegal warehouse parties and sitting on a roof watching the sun come up and stuff.
