YOU WILL NEVER WIN, BUT THAT'S NO REASON TO STOP TRYING

(Les Savy Fav performing at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC)

Parts & Labor and Les Savy Fav played at Bowery Ballroom this weekend, a really energetic show, of course. But when did Les Savy Fav's fans all turn into closeted (and not-so-closeted) frat boys? Haven't had to deal with such aggro bullshit since I went to see Municipal Waste (where it is supposed to be part of the experience).

MP3:

Speaking of Parts & Labor, here's a track from band member BJ Warshaw's solo project, Shooting Spires. The new (first) album is really good. Some parts Parts & Labor, some parts Animal Collective (when they're good) and some parts other bands I'm not enough of a music nerd to know to reference. Yeah.
