That looks odd. In any case, yeah -- anyone know the title?

Hey that's the song I'm talking about. The L-Word.

for the record there's a, presumably more numerous, black vinyl version if that wasn't clear
also they have a tribute band (sort of)! http://www.myspace.com/shatshorts

I won tickets to Pissed Jeans off of WFMU's twitter on Friday.

Opening band is ... Protect-U?? Dance music from D.C. (I saw em at PS1 Warm-Up over the summer). What a weird bill.

mike from protect-u and sean from pissed jeans played together in a dc band called navies back in the day

cool story bro
― pug waffle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 05:01 (twelve years ago) link
Wait, that is a cool story bro - I had no idea either of those guys were in Navies. I thought Navies was an ex-Black Eyes thing?
― She Got the Shakes, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 08:05 (twelve years ago) link
huh! well that kinda explains it then.
― dmr, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
xp - don't think any of the black eyes dudes were ever in navies, though they played shows together sometimes, and there's a lotta former-member overlap via future times (mike's label)/LIES/100% silk stuff
― pretzel walrus, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link
anyway, this thread revive prompted me to pull out shallow again and it is still so so awesome
― pretzel walrus, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 22:30 (twelve years ago) link
love these guys, it's totally time for a new album!
― Jamie_ATP, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 23:09 (twelve years ago) link
fucking amazing band. seeing them in 2 weeks.
― gman59, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 04:24 (twelve years ago) link
Just heard Sam Kinison woman, fucking awesome. How have the recent sets been? Would love to get these guys in the local DIY basement venue.
― Trip Maker, Monday, 6 February 2012 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
they were pretty good at Music Hall of Williamsburg although the sound was a little mushy, guitars weren't cutting through like they should
the singer practically does standup nowadays. it's pretty lol. people in front near the stage got the Don Rickles treatment
― dmr, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 02:56 (twelve years ago) link
New track!http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/14585-bathroom-laughter/It's rather good...

great innit. I'm going to revisit their old albums by way of celebration.
Now if only Clockcleaner would release another record!
― Neil S, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 13:54 (eleven years ago) link
good band but Jesus Lizard is better
― nostormo, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 13:56 (eleven years ago) link
that statement works for nearly every band is the thing
― Neil S, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 14:23 (eleven years ago) link
Clockcleaner broke up didn't they?
I don't think I heard the last Pissed Jeans record. Which I should probably do something about.
― Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 14:30 (eleven years ago) link
re. Clockcleaner, I think so too, but it was difficult on cursory examination of Wikipedia etc. to confirm that was the case. Anyway they were good too!
― Neil S, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 14:39 (eleven years ago) link
Clockcleaner singer dude subsequently did Puerto Rico Flowers which very v little rock and lots of goth. have a feeling that too has come to an end
― Joanna Motorhead (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 21 November 2012 15:16 (eleven years ago) link
Clockcleaner definitely had a goth thing going on, but more on the Cramps/ Gun Club end of the goth-psychobilly spectrum I would have said.
― Neil S, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 15:34 (eleven years ago) link
So glad Pissed Jeans is BACK
now Air Conditioning just needs to return
― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
the last pissed jeans was just unbelievably good. amazing live band and good guys too.
― Jamie_ATP, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 17:46 (eleven years ago) link
clockcleaner broke up & richard sharkey formed puerto rico flowers who i'm not sure have released anything this year but released an lp last year, more gothy less punk
― flopson, Wednesday, 21 November 2012 18:10 (eleven years ago) link
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, compared to halo of flies for example. kind of feel the same way about butthole surfers. i def prefer pissed jeans but obv my mileage varies, i wasn't listening to any of this stuff in the 90's

find it amusing that Matt Korvette writes for Spin's fashion/style blog: http://www.spin.com/writers/matt-korvette

Hell yeah.

easily one of my most anticipated albums
― everythingsgross, Thursday, 29 November 2012 08:09 (eleven years ago) link
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.
