Blackball False, Truth! - "Girl Penguin, Come Back, Goddamnit!"
If a roadtrip were a hypodermic needle, the car the plunger, then getting out of at the end would be near impossible. This slow building of pressure, over hours, though at top speeds, is what this song feels like. The same is true for much of this great album. How else can I analogize this feeling? Like, imagine all the lightbulbs in your house were actually balloons, and the more you left them on, the more they inflated. At first it's cute and fun, then it starts to impede your work a little bit, and soon you're overwhelmed, you can't even move, they're hot, they kinda burn.
Blackball False, Truth! - "Motion Sickness Conquers Heartache"
the colour comments: formerly Malmo, BF,T! seems to be one guy, so i guess touring is out until a band can be assembled. This is a very interesting veil under which to experience this music. It feels anything but solitary, and totally full-formed, not layered at all. An unexpectedly commendable achievement. Now get a band.

I do that as well. You'd do the same if you were called Stove.
This guy is quite good. Great song titles as well.

Posted by Altman E. at November 20, 2006 10:49 PMYeah.
I was just reading a preposterously completist review of Alex Chilton and this was perfectly acceptable accompaniment.
High praise.

Posted by Tim at November 21, 2006 12:13 PMwow, the BF,T! record is really good. It builds on itself so well. Very cohesive.
