This atypical slice of sidemeat looks at the Aral Sea. Located in Western Asia, it was once the 4th largest inland body of water. Due to Soviet canal projects initiated back in the 1960’s, the “sea” is now a shadow of its former self, largely replaced by a desert full of toxic dust and rusted fishing vessels.

Trip #3 – Blink-182
Blink-182 has had one of the most distinguished careers of any punk band, rising from lo-fi skatepunk to the undisputed gods of pop punk. Turmoil within the band led to break ups, side projects, reunions, and some experimental work that eschewed all notions of punk.

Sidemeat – 11th Slice
