Definitely excited about this. Last album was great.
Korvette's blog is really great by the way. He reviews a ton of records and has pretty broad tastes. Does some really cool interviews as well.

Huh - got kind of bummed out about the SPIN fashion blog (fuckin' gross, both the parts where he's making fun of it and the parts where he's serious), but then got pretty psyched on his blog, which is a total 'zine throwback and is a lot of fun.
― Walter Galt, Thursday, 29 November 2012 17:43 (eleven years ago) link
Didn't read the Spin thing, not really interested. Blog is a throwback and is not snarky/gross at all, pretty straight takes on records and interviews with interesting bands that are not getting interviewed many other places. Dude has listened to a lot of music.

Haven't had a chance to listen to this yet, but the copy I bought at Reckless came with a free 7" of their 2003 demos. Super excited to hear those too.

saw them last week and korvette has to be one of the best frontmen going. his dance moves/stage antics are sick and he started off with a rant about the weather, about god trying to keep them from getting to chicago, that ended with him cursing god and demanding to be struck dead on the spot. he also tore his tshirt straight down the front literally as soon as the band started playing. the next day i was looking on youtube trying to find clips to show my wife how great he is but couldn't find any that measured up to what i had seen.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 22 April 2013 21:32 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, he's spectacular, maybe my favorite rock frontman atm. only seen them a few times (and not in a couple years), but he's never failed to put on a show. whole band is great, but i particularly love watching brad and matt.

What a life affirming treat these were Live in Leeds last night.
Apart from the hilarity and sheer catharcism, it brought home to me that this band can actually play too - much to their disgust

yeah they banged in London also. Apart from BORING GIRLS I don't recall any specific standouts but it was consistently entertaining. Nothing off Hope For Men iirc? kinda odd

jesus lizard are one of those bands i know i am wrong for not loving more but tbh have always prefered most other amrep to them. find the bass too metal funk-ey or something & hasn't aged well
