inspired by their awesome new album, Thinking Of You--which inspired another thread because of its allegedly horrible cover!--and tonight's purchase of their debut LP for two dollars at Amoeba Records.

Old Paint is still one of my favorite albums. And the two solo albums irwin and bean put out during the 6-year hiatus between End Time and the new one are both quite good.

Did I read in another thread that bean worked/works as a paralegal?

I just obtained Paula Frazer's demo album recorded before Tarnation's Gentle Creatures (I can rarely think of Freakwater and not Tarnation, and vice versa.) It's a horrific two or four track that gets super muddy and bass-y toward the end. Bummer.

Too bad Louisville sound will forever be Rodan/Slint/June of 44 rather than Freakwater/Rachel's in the minds of thousands of young men out there...
