It’s not often I obsess about something. And for the most part, I am a calm, rational man without a shred of proven insanity. With that being said, I’d like to take a break from talking about fisting, leprechauns, and fisting leprechauns and discuss an obsession I’ve had for quite some time that only until now has been plaguing me like Glenn Beck plagues America: Fair to Midland.
Fair to Midland is a band. No wait. Fair to Midland is an aural essence that makes the universe good. If the world were to end in 2012 like the Mayans predict, Fair to Midland would be the group of people to stop that. And by people I mean the lions that form Voltron because I bet they have robotic lions stashed away somewhere. Basically what I’m saying is that Fair to Midland is more important than what you think is important. Oh your kid has diabetes? Your baby was born without a face? Not important. Besides, if your kid grew up having any kind of taste, his face would be rocked off by this band anyway. Your poor genetics just saved them the trouble.
The crux of this problem is that I haven’t heard any new music from them in a long time. I have listened to Fables From a Mayfly, Inter.Funda.Stifle, Carbon Copy Silver Lining, Drawn and Quartered, and even some site that has really old stuff by them, thousands of times. It’s not enough. I’m addicted, and I’m taking it upon myself to write this very non-psychotic letter to them, asking for them to give me new music soon before I go absolutely crazy and need some kind of musical methadone.
My liege(s),
Your music is the best thing that has ever touched a human’s sense of sound. Every time I hear your music, I feel like I was touched by Jesus. Appropriately touched. Not pedo-touched like the Catholic Jesus who lures children to his van with girl scout cookies and Smarties.
I am writing to ask beg you for new music soon. I am going through a musical withdrawal, and I hate feeling like a heroin-addict. It makes me feel really dirty, and also lame because if I have to go through some kind of program, I’m going to feel like an asshole saying “I’m addicted to Fair to Midland” while some guy without teeth talks about his problems with meth. All I’m asking is that you don’t make me do that.
I don’t want to talk to meth heads!
Another thing, I noticed you all have never been to the east coast, specifically New Jersey. Now, while I firmly believe you all have the power to combat intergalactic space/time travel, you may have forgotten all about the east coast. So I’m drawing you a map of where it is in conjunction to where you are:

I hope this helps.
If the reason you haven’t been to New Jersey is because of the media’s portrayal of it, that’s not a problem. I am a strong man and will fight off any of those oily guidos who try to talk to or infect you. If they even look at you wrong, I will cut off their back hair (which is the source of any Italian’s strength.) If you are afraid of some kind of lung disease, I will get you gas masks. I will even buy them in Pennsylvania so they weren’t touched by any of New Jersey’s tainted atoms. I hear that Darroh likes to pee in water bottles. Well, I will get you bigger and better water bottles to pee in!
I will construct bubbles or plastic cages…like the ones they give to the pope if you’re afraid of any kind of mugging, beating, shooting, and/or raping by the East Coast’s seedy underbelly. If you need whores, but don’t want an STD from a New Jersey whore, I will import whores from anywhere you wish. (Please let me know in advance on this, because I bet I can get like a group discount or something.)
Please. I am not dying or anything…but if it comes down to it, I will lie in a room of radon and asbestos so I develop cancer so the Make A Wish Foundation comes knocking on your door and gets you to play for me.
I hope this letter finds you well, and thank you for saving our universe.
Sincerely,
Swimfan

There. Not psychotic at all. Now we play the waiting game.
