I stopped by the record release party at Smart Bar since it's a block away and picked up the CD for a discount. Everyone looked about 22 years old. It's cool that a pudgy 40 year-old can still attract that audience. I should have bought tickets when they went on sale even though I don't plan to go, because they're now selling for $75 and up. Metro and other places have begun overselling shows again, and I'm sick of it. I hope it doesn't take more people dying in a fire to bring places back to code.

DRUNK GIRLS

you can't front on that
they/he still hasn't quite got the songwriting right
45:33 and the pre-first-album 12"s are still his best longer tracks
would rather hear actual hit attempts than 'you wanted a hit' (10 fuckin' minutes?)

oh man, just picked this up at the rekkid store. no joke, "Dance Yrself Clean" is great

It's a great opening track, unfortunately the album goes like this afterward:

One Touch and I Can Change are the only tracks I really like
― mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 15:42 (fourteen years ago) link
The only track I didn't like was the one whose title I can't remember but was the track on the album most sonically similar to "All My Friends".

"Drunk Girls" totally works as the second track -- i didn't like it in isolation, but right now it sounds awesome

Don't really love or hate this album, but that "nightclubbing" track is probably the worst.

Hah, I figured someone would bring that up.
Image was a search result for "falls off a cliff" or something similar...

It would be really, really awesome if "One Touch" crossed over to mainstream radio.

I went to pick this album up at Best Buy the day it came out, but it was sold out.

Picked it up for $6.99 new at Newbury Comics. A+
Was also really tempted to tell the ppl behind the counter that they were going to sell tons of these.
