  <itunes:subtitle>The guys listen to and discuss Stroke 9's minor hit Little Black Backpack. A song that slides down the slope of 90's anger and gets creepier and more controlling the longer it goes. More than likely the most frightening song about a fashion trend in a long while. </itunes:subtitle>
