Morning Glories

Fully Loaded (Cargo)
by Jeff Fritz

This is what you listen to while you trash your room. You’re trashing your room because you’ve come home drunk after a fight with your boy/girlfriend that ended in a messy scene in front of all your mutual friends. You’re still really angry and something called Fully Loaded seems like just the thing to listen to right now. You hear the track “In My Room Cold” and you turn your stereo up really loud to see if screaming like Christian Gibbs makes you feel any better. Nope, just more pissed off. You kick the shit out of your dresser in time with Kenny Savelson’s drum fills and Nicholas Palumbo’s bass pounds like the blood in your temples. You work yourself up into a frothing ecstasy of rage during the song “Tire Iron Serenade.” You laugh maniacally when your television set explodes in the street three floors below after you throw it off the balcony. By this time, your roommates are knocking apprehensively on your bedroom door. You turn up “Sweet Side of Jesus” even louder so you can’t hear them asking if you’re all right. Times like these, it’s good to have a band like Morning Glories at your disposal.
