pretty sure this album stopped me from drinking a fifth of bathtub gin and driving into a brick wall several times during the clusterfuck that was 2009.

the entire pissed jeans discography could be subtitled "...but at least we can laugh about it now"

hahaha
I like this album but it's nowhere near "Shallow." lotta people seem to think the opposite though
"Dream Smotherer" is pretty killer

this should have placed higher on pazz and jop, rock critics are dumbasses shocker
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Saturday, 23 January 2010 05:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I only did five records for pazz and jop to try to pump this record (and four others) up!

the best current live rock band I've seen, for two years running now. nobody can touch them.
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:18 (fourteen years ago) link
although maybe I missed a wicked 'Dirty Projectors' show in the interim or something, wouldn't know
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Dirty Projectors were great live when i saw them last fall
what Pissed Jeans record is better, Stormy?
― ksh, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:31 (fourteen years ago) link
For me, and bear in mind that these are ranked in the spirit of narcissism of small differences: Hope For Men, then King Of Jeans, then Shallow
― neden magnet (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:41 (fourteen years ago) link
ksh, never heard heard Dirty Projectors, that's the whole reason why I wrote 'I wouldn't know'! If you think they are better than Pissed Jeans -- either Live or on record, sure, tell me to check'em out.
Pissed Jeans just continue to be a beautiful, ugly, stupid force.
can't quite think of anyone like them. altho I admit I'm not familiar w/ the bands the get namechecked on the 'nu-pigfuck' thread..
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:47 (fourteen years ago) link
point being that -- my IMPRESSION -- is that 'Dirty Projectors' -- whoever the heck they are, got a lot of corporate crit bleating. by losers who would never set foot in a bar where Pissed Jeans plays. Of course, you see, most of my fave records are by old jazz dudes like Fred Anderson or whatever, so they ain't gonna get nominated for any awards either. So shooting potshots at 'darlings' like "Dirty Projectors" = just a bit of fun, i'm sure you will recover
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:50 (fourteen years ago) link
If Dirty Projectors are all that, I'd love to hear one or two sentences to convince me to check 'em out!
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I mean, I don't read 'Pazz & Jop' comments or 1000 post ILX threads anymore, work won't allow it, but fuck -- if DP actually rule I would love to be sold on it. can never get enough great music..
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:53 (fourteen years ago) link
in any case, I sync up with Mencap. I still think that 'Hope For Men' is the best Pissed Jeans record
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:55 (fourteen years ago) link
new one is cool, but I actually do kinda *miss* the weirdness and skits that were stuck into HFM
― Stormy Davis, Thursday, 15 April 2010 06:56 (fourteen years ago) link
yes. totally great live. think the jesus lizard reunion was the only other time i've been as impressed with a live band in the past few years. their records are all solid, really. could making a case for any of them being the best.
― circa1916, Thursday, 15 April 2010 07:20 (fourteen years ago) link
ksh i would strongly recommend getting "king of jeans" first. arguably equal to "hope for men" in greatness but it's their most accessible fer sher. "hope for men" is them pounding riffs into the ground endlessly with no release or sense of direction and "king of jeans" is them embracing release and rocking out in a more traditional sense. i only really appreciated "hope for men" after having heard/loved "king of jeans". hands down best rock band in the world going right now though.

thanks for the suggestions as to which record to buy first, everybody -- i'm going to add all of them to my ever-growing list of stuff to check out
Stormy: here's a Dirty Projectors song to check out:

what was the median age of the ppl at that show?
when i saw Dirty Projectors, it had to have been, like, 19
― ksh, Friday, 16 April 2010 03:11 (fourteen years ago) link
oh, thanks ksh! that track is really quite nice. reminds of a lot disparate things that kinda come close but don't really nail their sound so I won't mention them here, but suffice to say it pushes some of my buttons. anyway, yeah I was just kinda drunk and ranting last night -- depressed that a band as amazing as Pissed Jeans really *doesn't* get their just due. but that's just how it goes.
― Stormy Davis, Friday, 16 April 2010 03:15 (fourteen years ago) link
iow, i am feeling this;
hands down best rock band in the world going right now though.
― tmi finney (samosa gibreel)
ah man, it was the best show. alot of these weird punk shows in montreal lately have been really boring audience-wise, just this silent majority of hipsters and people who like performance art standing around with their arms crossed. but for pissed jeans they got a powerviolence band and an 80s hardcore band to open, tonnes of dudes crowdsurfing and going nuts.
― tmi finney (samosa gibreel), Friday, 16 April 2010 03:20 (fourteen years ago) link
median age at the show last night was probably about 28 (I am 38)
didn't see any of the scenesters from "my generation" of indie/punk/etc rock though, which kind of surprised me. It was a Wednesday though (it was a huge battle to make it into my 8 am start job today, 20 minutes late)
I should also mention that the Empty Bottle in Chicago has amazing drink specials, $5.50 each day for a drink and a shot. Last night, it was Tito's Vodka and a Point IPA in a bottle. Tito's is, like, my fave vodka right now, and I'm not even really a vodka guy. best boilermaker ever
― Stormy Davis, Friday, 16 April 2010 03:20 (fourteen years ago) link
pretty much everyone was over 20. well, at least no one under 18.
yeah, I caught the same general vibe as samosa. crowd actually *did* start off a little arm-crossed, but Pissed Jeans proceeded to break that down relentlessly until, at the end, there was wild moshing to the last couple tracks. they really are unparalleled right now, I think. 50 minute set, no encores, as there needn't have been. they give everything they have for the 50 minutes.
― Stormy Davis, Friday, 16 April 2010 03:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Stormy, glad you liked the DP song!
that's great that the audience was really into it. way too rare these days at many, many shows

i heard they had a 7" coming out this year
― samosa gibreel, Saturday, 6 November 2010 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link
The 7" is out, at least on Emusic. "Sam Kinison Woman" is great, but the b-side is the kind of lumbering clever-Neandertal dirge that they do better than anyone since Flipper. Stunning in it's groaning, cranking way.
― bendy, Saturday, 6 November 2010 23:27 (thirteen years ago) link
yep there was a run of 500 on yellow vinyl from sub pop. not sure if any are left, was glad i scored one.
