thispicturepostcardmodernity asked: For the umpteenth time I have stumbled home across the snowy swiss countryside at silly o'clock in the morning screaming my lungs out to K.O. K.O. (because that's all I have on my mix CD in my discman). So I thought I'd pay due respect, and tell you directly that you are awesome beyond words. <3

I'd have to say mine is It's a Plague. What a...
