My weekend can pretty much be summed up by the following:
**
Jimmy brought to my attention that The Thermals have a new record coming out next month. How this went over my head I'm not sure. I was able to track it down on Soulseek and after 1/2 listen I'm not so sure how I feel about it. It sounds like The Thermals.. with a few overdubbed keyboards and guitar parts.. but.. I don't know. the lyrics are awful distracting. Jesus, locusts, sinning, praying... blah... yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's lame, but I prefer "1,2,3 Forward!" any day of the week. You can check out an MP3 of one of the better tracks here. **
This week is going to be brutal at work. 11pm tomorrow night. 8-ish the rest of the nights. Found out I might be going to Wildwood this weekend, though, which would be a nice way to forget about this seemingly shitty week. I went to Wildwood each year from the age of 1 - 20. It's been five summers since the last time I was there... and I've heard it's way different now. All the Motels are being torn down and replaced with condos. Even my beloved Sands Motel, which I can't even find an image of on Google. I'm glad I'm going to be able to check it out before it's all torn down, even if it's only for a weekend. --

After first listen it sounds a little more interesting than the last.
That MP3 Sub Pop has posted is definitely the best of the bunch. I can see this one growing on me and maybe liking it as much as Fuckin' A... but neither (even combined) are as good as More Parts Per Million. I applaud them trying something different... the extra instrumentation is great. But the religious stuff on the new one is just kinda distracting for my taste. I will be giving many more listens this weekend on my long drive.
Should I check out that first one
If you're talking about More Parts Per Million. Fuck yes. It blows Fuckin' A away by a landslide.
