it’s riddled with clash references - a friend who went looking for contra on web found sandinistas! - ‘complete control’ mentioned in ‘I think You’re a contra’. Tis a big lurve letter to clash - so much for pitchfork and their bright young writers.

I think they’ve been obsessing about the clash - taxi driver reminds me a lot of straight to hell - and ‘diplomat’s son’ - who could they mean by that? Joe S?

It’s a grower.

I was listening to P.O.S when this comment appeared.

I hadn’t listened to the album since Friday, when I first heard it. Listening to it again now I’m wondering why I have heard people say that its not as good as the first one. I think its better.

And then I went and read the pitchfork review, which brought up all sorts of stuff about where they stand in the firmament of “vanguard indie bands” along side Grizzly Bear and Dirty Projectors, which reminded me once again that I shouldn’t read Pitchfork reviews.
