New one is really, really good.

if the formula contained only Hold Steady and Husker Du it was better. the problem is the emo vocals imo.i like the loud,never ending guitar chords and the Gun Club cover is awesome.

i dunno who these guys are before, and i didn't like the original song, but i like this cover.
also, kexp sounds really good for college radio. i'm used to college radio live recordings sounding like boomboxes.the dick dale one sounds great, too.

I just got their new 7-inch in the mail... I love how the packages always come with airheads candy. It's such a nice little bonus.

I was all excited seeing the Pitchfork review, thinking it was out today, but have to wait another week still. The stream will do for this week.
