Fizzbombs

The Fizzbombs were a short-lived C86/shambling Scottish band. I co-opted the name for this blog because I think it's a great word for a fantastic pop song, something that makes you laugh, a great quote, or anything else that generally makes you perk up. A fizzbomb. A little jolt of energy. Something to wake you up. To get you going. To spark curiosity. Or creativity. To Inspire. To rouse you from whatever else is going on. So, I'll share the fizzbombs that I come across and hopefully you'll find something to make your day just a little bit better. And, by all means, share back! Follow me on Twitter - @ChrisDavisCW

For Gethard - Anonymous asks: Gethard I know you've talked bout depression and anxiety issues before and if you don't answer this cause it's a complete downer i understand but I'm curious if you ever had suicidal thoughts. I admire you and your show and have just been in a really bad place lately. I used to see your show as the last thing I had to look forward to but I haven't even been back for months and can't even bring myself out the door to get there without panicking. I'd appreciate any advice really.

I just got this message and am going to answer it. Anonymous, this one is just for you, but since this came into our inbox anonymously I have to post it publicly. My apologies. I feel very unsure of if this is right to post this, but I want to help if I can. Anyone else can feel free to skip reading this one. - Geth
