The Units - "High Pressure Days"

Think The Minutemen meets Devo. This multimedia-loving San Francisco "synthpunk" band was known in the late 70's-early 80's for their crazy performances, often incorporating instructional films (before it was cliche) into their live sets, and performing in strange places (like in the front window of a San Francisco JC Penney). It was hard to pick a song of theirs to post. Their recently-released collection of songs History of the Units: The Early Years 1977-1983 (released last year by Community Library) is jam packed full of hits that nobody seems to have ever heard. Rumor has it, there's a vinyl version of this coming out as well, which will be amazing to own. If you're into this stuff, please do yourself a favor and pick it up. It's really quite amazing. I wish bands like this were still around.

seems impossible, almost five years since my father was diagnosed with problems of high pressure, and this with a strong treatment, but now is having a very bad time because the dysfunction is one of its past problems but returned and want to take generic viagra are not sure if this may affect your treatment and if so will have the same effect and is not doing?
