This explains the 7.5 Pitchfork rating.

OHNOHEDIDNT!

*smirk* My favorite part of that review is how i'm pretty sure the reviewer never wrote anything else for Pitchfork ever again. I like to think his taste was called into serious question and was promptly canned when he gave us such a higher-than-deserved score.

Posting your first band in this thread will make you instantly more attractive to foreign ladies.

Today's indie hipsters would kill for that look.

My first band was called Mustachio, and we put out this 7":



I drew the cover. We thought we were "funny" - the 7" had songs called "Beware the Cook" and "Appliances Revolt", the former which had a dual-vocal only breakdown for approx 30 seconds, and the latter which had three "movements", and ended in some kind of surf-rock riffage.

The 7" was recorded the day after Frank Sinatra died. I'd been playing drums just 3 months shy of 2 years at that point.

We played about 25 live shows around town, never toured, and never (thankfully, in hindsight) sold many copies of the 7".

No Idea Var?

We really had an eye for design.

Yup. He, my brother and I were roommates at the time. Var and I are still in a band together. It is a joke. We played with Agnostic Front last night. They hated us. Go figure.

I've noticed a trend with their reviews: if a record receives between an 8.5 and a 10, I'll probably hate it. If a record receives between a 6.5 and an 8.4, it's probably really good.

i sang harmonies and played hand percussion in my college Christian fellowship's worship band. yep.
