I love them but I might say that the latest album is pretty disappointing :c

Not Crap. I only have the last two albums. Fanastic dark room smoking a cigarette drinking liquor music.


Though only a quarter as good as these guys.[/url]

I'm addicted to What Ever You Love also due to it being the first one I
bought. It always reminds me of the start of Fargo. I'm really liking the
live one from Meredith I just got.

Saw them just before xmas in Newcastle and Warren was taking the piss
out Geordie musicians such as Sting and Mark Knopfler, one minute I was
laughing my arse off the next nearly in tears at the music.

Definitely not crap.

"Give the keys to the city back Sting ya fackin wanker"

BUMP


this band was mentioned a couple times in the thread started by gramsci.
so i got "horse stories".
holy fucking shit, what a fantastic record it is! astonishingly beautiful and powerful music.

NOT CRAP

I just heard them for the first time yesterday. It was nothing like I was expecting. It didn't sound anything like raw proto-punk. I was kinda surprised. I liked what I heard.

I like all of their albums equally. They're all full of hits and misses, so much so that you could probably compile a good 4 albums out of the 6 or 7 they have made.

However, their live shows rival any other live show I have ever seen, including bands like the Jesus Lizard, Wolf Eyes, or Slint. I have seen them twice blow away a packed house of drunks, hipsters, and cokeheads. It's great to see people dumbfounded by the fact that this combination of instruments can be so intense in a live setting.


NOT CRAP.

Warren Ellis downed a fifth of Beefeater at this show.
As he got more drunk, the stories between songs got better.

I saw this tour, too, and the preambles to the songs were integral to the performance (and often funny or poignant--or both).

I laughed a lot.
The Calexico guys were pretty funny too.
