John Sencio ROCKS!!!!!
Either these were just added or I've been living under a Secio-sized ROCK lately! John Sencio has posted songs from his band (which I presume is called The John Sencio Blues Explosion) on his site!!!

I guess we know what my favorite ex-MTV VJ is doing now that "Home Delivery" has been cancelled. Recording AMAZING rock & roll songs and avoiding me by staying off of AOL.

Now, two things:

1) If I was in high school my senior quote would look like this:

"I'm Mr. Personality / A modern day fatality / I'm Mr. Personality and I don't dig reality / Hey Hey / Hey Hey / What a day."
-John Sencio, "Mr. Personality"

2) Sencio gets all POIGNANT and shit on "Paradise." I took the time (read: listened to it twice) to transcribe the lyrics. I hope you're sitting down people, because this hits home hard.

"Paradise"
by The John Sencio Blues Explosion

You think you have it nice, you shouldn't think twice
about the negroes in the street
the homeless man with broken feet
the white trash in the trailer park
the prostitutes fighting in the dark
the mexicans on the run
the schoolboys with their shotguns.

We're living in Paradise.
We're liiiiving in Paradise.

You live in paradise, you shouldn't think twice
about the skinheads who love to hate
the crips and bloods that assassinate
the indians drive onward back (?)
the CIA and the electric chair
militia man and the CLU
pornographers red white and blue.

We're living in Paradise. X4

I'll let you digest that. That's some deep shit right there.

Sencio 4 Life.
