Not to be confused with the popular and mysterious "Brand X" used by advertisers to make their products look good, this instrumental is just mysterious.

The chemical equation for LSD is C20H25N3O. It inspired a merengue. We're not sure how but it seemed really, really important at the time.

Sometimes it just seems that no matter what you do to prevent it, things just get better and better. It's a shame really.

Some people's families are just forked up.
