PISSED JEANS

Clockcleaner broke up didn't they?

I don't think I heard the last Pissed Jeans record. Which I should probably do something about.

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!

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

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.

So glad Pissed Jeans is BACK

now Air Conditioning just needs to return

the last pissed jeans was just unbelievably good. amazing live band and good guys too.

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

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

now Air Conditioning just needs to return

Hell yeah.

easily one of my most anticipated albums

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.

Here it is: http://www.yellowgreenred.com/

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.

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.

Angry local music fan yells at local paper for article:

lol "REAL punk bands practice TWICE a week and sometimes play FIVE shows a MONTH"

I hope the next Pissed Jeans album is just a dramatic reading of this letter.

the latter of whom do not take wrestling as "a gimmick"

"romanticize me" is an early fave from the album

Bucketflesh and Spent Flesh?

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.

lol "REAL punk bands practice TWICE a week and sometimes play FIVE shows a MONTH"

yeah I don't think I've ever heard the "you're not punk, you don't practice enough" argument

FIVE shows a MONTH. Black Flag ain't got nothing on these guys.

"TWICE a week" says to me that your drummer is two-timing.

if that letter dude is such a badass how come his handwriting is so neat

guess he practices writing letters regularly

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.

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

free in W'burg Sat afternoon

The thing they put out on Record Store Day is pretty fun:

People who like Pissed Jeans should listen to Watery Love

Cracks me up every time.

Today's melange of flak from a project manager, neighborhood burglaries, and a deer tick bite necessitated shuffling through the Pissed Jeans discography all afternoon.

convinced that a) they are one of the great bands of the current era and b) "goodbye (hair)" is the greatest song title of the current era

I miss Pissed Jeans

mist jeans

perfect timing
