It's not really fair to list "Massive Headache" as a best album... it's really just a compilation from earlier Fauntleroys EPs "Big Blister" and "Huge Hernia". Likewise, I don't think you're giving a fair shake to "Skinny Feeling Blues". Those guys aren't the original Tanks... just a bunch of studio guys from LA.
That deck is built our of dream wood. Watch your step.
Man, I love the lyrics to "This Is Not A Stick Anymore".
This, this is not a stick
You'd better, you'd better think quick
Cause this, this is a rock
I'm gonna wrap it, wrap it up in a sock
anymore, anymore, anymore (said yeah)
anymore, anymore, anymore (say what?)
anymore, anymore, anymore (good god)
anymore, anymore, stick
Slippery Mom Bag is soooo overrated. Just because Pitchfork gave them a rating of "guacamole!" on a scale of 1 to 10 -- what does that even mean?
The number 2 is also overrated. Sellout!
Best Friends Forever's Best Friends Forever was actually released in December of '07.
