I haven't heard as much as I would like. But my night has been accentuation by this song: "Treat the New Guy Right".

So good.
Not Crap.
Etc.

How could this band ever be crap?

Lily White & Cherry Red -- so good.

I don't know what the big deal is. I've heard three or four of their records and seen them a couple of times. They're not crap, but they have like one outstanding song per album and the rest is boring. Then there was that pointless acoustic covers ep.

Man, you've fuckin' got my number. Care to enlighten me on the later stuff via PM sometime?

I love 'Chokes!' so much. The first four songs are maybe the best they ever wrote. I'm being sustained by little gifts. First it was the Bottomless Pit songs, then the Tribute record, then 'Chokes!' and hopefully soon the Documentary. Maybe then a Bottomless Pit record!? Maybe then a record by The New Year!? See how I lie to myself!

Gah. I wonder if this is how Beatles fans felt in 1971.

Well, when I saw them a couple weeks ago they played a good chunk of new material, and said they were recording in August. The new stuff was awesome.

Oh yeah, Silkworm? They're alright I guess

There is a new Touch & Go video diary up featuring Tim and Andy.

"LR72" seems like it says something else now.

Not that I know what it meant before.

I just realized today that the Silkworm CDs from Lifestyle on have a little message on the spine of the CD (inside the tray).

Totally.
as for the topic of the poll, Silkworm is the best band of the last 20 years.
