Best San Francisco Songs of All Time #2: Mission
September 28th, 2007 by Jeremy Smears
Best of all time? Myles knows how to set the bar for a new feature. Whatevs, I think this song by myspace of the week alumni The Units is pretty great. Mission is a humorous ode to, you guessed it, the mission: burritos, marijuana, the …um… fashion, and humongous boom boxes. Its the closest thing to a party song on the album, and the chorus makes me smirk every time I hear it “The Mission is bitchin’!/Mission I don’t take no ^%::&++!/Alright!” (note, that’s the band censoring itself). Honestly, the mission hasn’t changed too much in the twenty seven years that have passed from since the release of Digital Stimulation on 415 records.

It’s great to hear this song. Things… haven’t… changed… scary.
