I'm currently listening to Scared Famous. This is great kick-back music. Currently on "Are You Gonna Look After My Boys?"



Guess who's coming to your big town?
Jugglin jesters, kick-it clowns
Circus sound, painted frown
Carnival of carnage creepin' round

'howling at the moon' is one of my top 10 ariel songs. 'look after my boys is great too

I listened to this album yesterday... it's quite good indeed

I've played it for/sent it to 10 of my snobbiest friends and they all loved it too!

IT'S A GREAT ALBUM!

Best of the year, so far, definitely.

Finally, something worth the hype.

Wait until Pitchfork reviews that shit, yo.

I'm sure they'll give it, oh, a 7.9. Sounds about right, since pretty much every band who is actually good but whose label doesn't shower them in payment for ads 24/7 gets around a 7. On the other hand, if we start seeing a bunch of ads for his label/this release on p4k, it'll get an 8.5.

my ranking of the songs right now:

Beverly Kills
Fright Night
Bright Lit Blue Skies
L'estat
Menopause Man
Can't Hear My Eyes
Revolution's a Lie
Round and Round
Butt-House Blondies
Hot Body Rub
Reminiscences
Little Wig [not sure why its my least fave... its a good song. i just don't enjoy listening to it as much as the others]

I can't believe how much I enjoy this now. Fuck me.

To be honest I don't find it quite as great as everyone says it is. Maybe I need to listen to it more, I don't know, but so far I'm not that hooked - though it is indeed good -. We'll see

You've got a shitty rip, dude.

Talking all the tiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmme.



I was talking all the time.
