Girthquake by Johnny Thursday
Johnny Thursday makes his second debut into the musical water closet with his sophomore disaster, "Girthquake." Describing the album as "a garage sale of symmetrically arranged, however incongruous sounds," Johnny's latest political diatribe is THICKER, GIRTHIER, THIRSTIER than ever, featuring unforgivable hits such as "Turn N Burp," "Arbor Day," and "Dinner!"

This album is dedicated, with as much love as I can draw from my little gangly self, to every one of my friends who propped me up, dusted me off, and drew an impossible smile from my face, as if it were the most natural thing in the world for them to do; who have grown with me and loved me unconditionally for uncountable years; who have had more influence on me than they will realize. Though I will be across the country, the memory of you all will be the best company I could ask for in the lonesome days ahead. I will miss you, I love you.
