Get the Swangin and Bangin mug.by Tammy Swanson May 21, 2010
Get the Swanson mug.If someone says you’re swang, then you know they’re a keeper.
Swang is the word of friendships and unconditional love. It means “perfect, but in a badass way.”
This word will change your life for the better.

Get the swang mug.The act of essentially inhaling a loaded (or gourmet ) hot dog. Can be totally innocent if not gluttonous, however might appear X-rated to the layperson.
Swankyfranking is cool during an eating competition or just really hungry (OR if the dog is just that damn delicious), but do NOT look a man in the eye while doing so!

Get the Swankyfranking mug.One of the most important bands of the last 30 years. Swans started out in the early 80's as a post punk/no wave band that created crushingly heavy albums such as "Filth", "Cop", and "Holy Money." Albums that make Black/Death Metal bands with makeup that try to act scary seem like complete and utter pussies.
1987's "Children of God" was a big leap forward, one which bridged the gap between the brutal heaviness and the more experimental side of Swans (which became prominent in their later career in the 90's). It also featured more frequent contribution from their 2nd vocalist Jarboe.
In 1996 they released their magnum opus "Soundtracks for the Blind". A mammoth double album that inspired countless late 90's and 00's post rock bands. Most notably the hipster adored Godspeed You Black Emperor! Who have made a career out of milking and watering down the sound created by Swans. They do it well all things considered, but if you want the real thing kids... pick up Soundtracks for the Blind.
Swans broke up in 1997 but Michael Gira (going back on his word) has since reformed the band in 2010, and with a slew of additional musicians released the spectacular comeback album "My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky" to well deserved critical acclaim.

"The first Swans record I owned was Slave EP, and it absolutely blew me away... it was a sound that I always wanted to hear, just the bleakest and blackest. The minimalist approach of the music, that was what really influenced me. It was non-genre-specific, with a total lack of baggage... purely abstract, surreal, and violent. It communicated to me in a very special way, and taught me that heavy metal could be stripped of everything and reduced to its most primal form."
