"Savory" is immediately great, but the entire record rules, start to finish. Also look for the "Savory" EP; the b-sides "Lil Shaver" and "68" are as good as anything on FYOSS.Novelty is great too. The eponymous record has its moments but isn't as great as the two records that precede it.Skip the first one.

Also -"Lil' Shaver"/"Little Shaver" medley. There's a week 'til the BBQ. Somebody make it happen.

The big difference is that Jawbreaker sounds like the greatest band in the world when you're a teenager but not so much thereafter. Jawbox always seemed to have more grown-up interests/appeal.You are on some nonsense.

I liked the Channels full-length. I found the directly political lyrics bracing-- though they were so of-the-moment that the album is kinda forever trapped on 2006...

Really interesting interview (A/V Club) with J Robbins about the self-titled album on the occasion of the release of its remaster.

The part about the drum sound on the record explains so much.
