Not Crap.

Yo La Tengo is okay, but I prefer killing with my bare hands.

You guys are morons. An easy NOT CRAP. This ought to be fucking obvious.

I like 'I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One' & 'And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out' -- not crap.

Electro-pura is one of my favorite records.

Me too. I think it's their best...with "Decora" being one of the best album openers ever. (That guitar lick.) Painful and I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One are close behind.

We do have some fantastic parting gifts for you...

no. no parting gifts. fuck that.

my gift is knowing that "CRAP" is WRONG.

this band is unbelieveable. one of the finest and most versatile live bands ever. IRA FUCKING SHREDS ON GUITAR.


they rule.


NOT CRAP.

No, not crap. I like 'em a lot.


The "Bank it, Matador " statement made me laugh out loud though.

Good one BRW.

No, "these guys" are not morons. Besinger must have been
crocked that afternoon, if he was thinking that Georgia Hubley
stood up to play drums(or marched around in circles, or something).
But, he's not a moron.

I put not crap, but based on their only 3 albums that matter. "Painful", "electro-pura", and "I can hear the heart beating as one".....all of them great. Before this it was tolerable, jangly college rock and after this it is good to mediocre leftovers form those albums.
ANd I have seen them a few times live, and regardless of songs or performance they always had the most amazing live sound I have ever heard.
I had a friend who worked at a club they were playing at in Lawerence and I hung out there drinking while they sound checked for 3 hours! No joke. Fuck, but it did sound goood.....I could barely believe it was one guitar the whole time....

Painful and May I Sing With Me are two of the best albums ever.

Simply not crap.
