I didn’t
think that Shawn Mrazek was dead because I didn’t even really know that he
lives. Upon
hearing this though, I am quite pleased to find out both that he is alive and
is not dead despite what some people apparently thought.
Also,
on a sort of related bit of news, I did think for some reason that this was
going to be a collection of live recordings (I admit, the “Lives!” threw me
off), but it is not.
The music
found on here is rock n roll. It’s
Coyote Shivers, The Thermals, The Hold Steady and Fred Schneider all rolled
into one amazing band. It’s something
that could be found on the Empire Records soundtrack and that was such an
excellent time to be part of music (Still one of my favorite soundtracks as
well)
I also
must try to phrase the notion that this is what I imagine that The Strokes
would sound like if The Strokes were a better band. When I first heard “Last Night”, I thought it
was kind of catchy, but I never really liked The Strokes.
In my
mind- in my musical mind- if The Strokes were a band that I wanted to listen to
this is what they would sound like.
These
are eight songs, including a cover of “My Funny Valentine”, and they replay on
Side B, which is always a fun aspect of cassettes for me.
