Knife Play will probably always be my favorite but Fabulous Muscles definitely shows signs of improvement over everything Jamie Stewart has done so far. "Clowne Towne" might be Xiu Xiu's best song yet.

Only one even vaguely duff track ('Mike').

OTM, but I like it anyway. I liked "Mike" also.
I got a copy for the college radio station and plan to call it "Bizarro Postal Service" on the little sticker I put on the case. Because the kids love the Postal Service, that is for sure.

I just saw Jamie do a solo Xiu Xiu set in NY with Michael Gira and it was fucking great. If you're a Xiu Xiu fan definitely take advantage of a solo Jamie show if you get the chance.

This and Knife Party are the only Xiu Xiu albums I'll ever need. This album in particular brings back good memories, it makes me feel old too, it's been 9 years now.. I Luv the Valley and Clowne Towne are amongst my favorite songs of the past decade, seems ILM doesn't care much about him.

i was saying this on another thread but his production is super underrated, it seems like the actual music gets overshadowed by his persona (or people's perception of his persona).
