Which is more soul crushing – listening to kids play metal at Guitar Center or listening to KPFT?
The sound of Boom Boom Cars booming their way through Westbury is the most soul crushing sound. There’s nothing you can do about it. You are helpless. And as a bass player it’s ten times worse because I tune right in on it and there’s no escape. I just want to take a sledgehammer to their windshields and introduce them to the much more pleasant sounds of KPFT. Jeffrey Thames of KPFT has been quite good to bands I’ve been in, so I can’t complain about KPFT, though wouldn’t it be great if they had 10 Jeff Thames?! You guys deserve a show on there, “Skyline radio” (like you’re not already busy enough?) or The Skyline Sessions, like they have with Sugar Hill… What are some records you’ve been rocking on lately? I’ve been listening to a lot of the new stuff by Rose Hill Drive, Dungen, Fleet Foxes, The Raconteurs, The Poison Arrows, Dredg and Whiskeytown’s Stranger’s Almanac. Shudder to Think is reuniting so I’ve been rocking out with PONY EXPRESS RECORD. I was obsessed with Joy Division and
