Hooray for so much press. Go Dave!

I wonder if P-fork with review this or just choose to ignore it entirely? I noticed they took down the particularly scathing Winners review.

Best. Manager. EVER.

So should we anticipate a review will be forthcoming from pitchfork or not?

cailet, have you ever heard triple J play any PTL or Bazan? I have never.
I sent Kingsmill an email on his '2009' segment informing him of the new Bazan album, but no reply.

never heard a thing.
nor FBi.

i think that bazan is probably not cool enough for the j's, you can start to get into their rotation and start to dig their music, but in the end i think they're really close minded, hipster wanna-be mother fuckers.
i'm not even sure why i am this bitter about the station.

ah well.

Awesome. Now all Dave needs is a music video where he plays a guitar solo, bare chested on a mountain top, shot in helicopter view.

[Mike McCusker]

Sell out! Next thing you know he'll be buying clothes for the kids and paying his bills on time. What happened to the values of independent credibility???







(Sorry, thought I was on the Death Cab for Cutie board there for a minute)
