That's one cool video.

Y'know, I did watch that video once before when someone posted it here, and I loved it then and I love it now.

But as far as waiting, I really enjoy doing that sometimes... rather than tracking something down, even if I know it's good, I wait for it to find me. It can be pretty nice.

Pfft. No contest. Shorty's great and all, but Big'n is pretty much perfect.

And just in case you hadn't heard, Big'n is playing another reunion show Monday night at the Bottle. It's free. Get psyched sluts.

Marsupialized i think you don't know so well Big'n...or you are not into math-rock at all
the Shorty were a great band for sure...but the Big'n were of another leauge

I have heard a lot of both bands, I saw Big'n play a few times and Shorty is just way more interesting to me, weirder stuff going on musically. Shippy is just a really fantastic guitar player all around.

I see you have got the luck to see the BIG'N...beh good for you...
in my case i never got the fortune to see these bands...but i know both the bands pretty well...the Shorty are one of the most crazy bands i heard in my life...beh all the bands on Skin Graft were a bit extreme...btw i like them...but to me the Big'n were of another level...they were tough musician...and also they were one of the best Math-Rock bands i have listened in my life...both the albums...Cuthroat and Discipline Through the Sound were excellent, (i can give a 8/9 to each record), and i can say the same about the singles..especially the first one with "Fake Santa".
The Shorty were good for sure...but in Thumb Days and in Fresh Breath i just found a couple of very good songs... "Skirts and Hells" and "Dynamite Lover"...the rest to me was just a repetition of something i heard before...ok the singer was truly original...with a crazy voice...ok...but for the rest...beh nothing of new...in some cases it's almost like to listen the TAD......btw my vote can't be more than 7 for both the albums.

I like both bands but Shorty do something to my head that no other band has ever done.

Big'n are playing tomorrow for swayze's birthday I think with haymarket riot and others

someone should get some footage of the show tomorrow.
