The Conniption Fitts announced on their web site this past weekend that they're going "on hiatus", which normally wouldn't be that big of a deal-- they're from Chicago, so who cares, right?-- except that their song "I Can't Sleep" is one of the best Black Flag "Nervous Breakdown"-style pounders that I've heard in recent memory, right up alongside The Guns "I'm Not Right" and the New Bomb Turks "Straight-On Chaser" as far as I'm concerned.
I first heard "I Can't Sleep" about 3 or 4 months ago on the Dead Broke Rekerds tape comp #3, which as far as I know is the only place you can hear this song (other than The Conniption Fitts' MySpace, which is currently sporting a Sonics cover, too). Plus now you can also get it here, so strap this fucker on and buckle up.

"I Can't Sleep"

great name for a band!
It might actually be funny that there's another Conniption Fits (without the extra T), but they're a wannabe "pro"/commercial rock band from Boston who really suck.
The mp3 file on this post is now a listen-only (non-downloadable) file. I think this was the single most downloaded song that I've posted so far. Anyway, for those of you who missed the boat, I will do my best to respond to any e-mailed requests for the original file.
