So after running into him at a few shows, I've become friends with R0b3rt McN3il of the Teasers. He lives just a few blocks from me. Anyway, yesterday he hooked me up with two minidiscs of Teasers rarities and a collection of the Rebel (Ben Wallers' long-running solo project). Fucking amazing amazing amazing stuff. I can't get over this shit. And the new album is fantastic. "Deaths" on there is maybe the best Teasers song ever. I feel compelled to write thousands of words on them (and I plan to when I head to VA on vacation next week), as I just can't get over what they do lyrically and musically. Oh, and I've come to realize that they're totally Big Black!!! I dunno why I never thought of this before.
Oh, and Gareth, Robert's gonna hook me up with all the Male Nurse stuff, which I'm thrilled to finally hear.

Robert's given me the backstory on Ben's race fascination, his life story, etc., etc. Really, really interesting. I can't wait to write about all of this.
I can't believe how gorgeous this Rebel stuff is either.

Classic. I ordered the vinyl of 'Science Hat Artistic Cube Moral Nosebleed Empire' from the US and love it. Great, fun, band.

I've been pretty obsessed lately. anyone catching Wallers on this current US tour? and is it just he and a drum machine or is he rolling with a band? my job is being a dickhead and I'll probably miss him in Atl. hopefully I can get to NOLA tomorrow or Memphis next week.
