They are lovely boys and I heart them.
They're playing in Notting Hell next week, I hear, I might go and see them.

I've been listening to In the Belly of the Brazen Bull a lot. Dare I say, that is one damn fine rock record. Much better than the one they did w/ Marr.

Yeah, I kinda like this new one. I never did hear that Marr one, never showed up in shops around here for whatever reason. Sounds like I didn't miss anything.

They strike me as an astonishingly clumsy band, especially the lurch the singer does into Kelly Jones style bellow. They seem to be held up as keepers of the rock flame these days which is weird considering they're so inept at it.

the new one w/ Ric Ocasek is pretty good! "Spring on Broadway" has some very satisfying chord changes. this has been my thought about the music of the rock band the Cribs.

Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever is still a great record, IMO - probably their best.

the Albini-produced album was Not Good (turns out they very badly NEED shiny production to work) but Night Network seems like a pretty solid "back to basics" type affair, complete with Lee Ranaldo cameo

Huh, haven't thought about these guys in awhile and I don't think I've heard an album since Men's Needs. Still kinda blows my mind that they've gotten people like Johnny Marr and Lee Ranaldo play with them.
