"Fainting Spells" is from the DU sessions, it was going to be on ~The EP~ that is officially coming out NEVER and nearly all the songs that were going to be on it will be released as b-sides of Crash Love, etc etc etc.

IT'S AMAZING.

Like I said in a comment on AFI Talk (where I'm supposedly a writer now but I haven't made a single post yet): "The beginning was suspicious but from there I was just like =O the whole time.
In Medicate, only the bridge made my jaw drop. So, judging by jawdroppage, [Fainting] Spells is better. Though it's not something I'd want from the new album, but for a b-side it's totally, ridiculously awesome." [...which is regular for AFI.]

I dug up a couple of news articles about AFI from the year 2000, and I was amused, so I decided to share.

"It wasn’t necessarily an easy decision. We sacrificed a lot," Havok says. "It really is very difficult to be in a band. You really have to dedicate your whole life to being in a band. You can’t have a job. You can’t go to school. You can’t have any money. You break your parents’ hearts, for the most part. My mom was just heartbroken when I dropped out of Berkeley to be a punk rocker."

With his pale, boyish face accented by dark makeup, and tattoos and a lip-piercing for added rebellious appeal, Havok has become a heartthrob -- a quick perusal of the female profiles at Web sites such as makeoutclub.com suggests plenty of punk teens have "Davey is dreamy" doodled throughout their journals.

"I don't really get into specifics, but it's, in essence, if you distill the song down to one of its general meanings, it's really speaking of the mutability of elation that's based in really powerful yet fleeting experiences, and those experiences being referred to in a sort of metaphorical way as medication."

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Do you like roller-coasters?"

"Yes."

"Do you ever feel like you want to cry after you get off a roller-coaster?"

"Um, no."

"Or throw up?"

"Yes, that I've felt."

"Ever cry after sex?"

"My wife cries during sex, what's that about, Davey?"

"That's what the song is about."

I'm tempted to crop the bridge out of the song and only listen to that without the rest of the song. It's amazing.
