(just love how they avoid mouthing the brown word in the video)
The past two weeks, I've been getting my head handed to me at work, but I've had one musical ray of sunshine. I've been listening to The Cribs' latest album on repeat frequently, and it's made things slightly more bearable. These guys really know their way around a catchy chorus, without a lot of frills. It's just well-done, simple Brit-pop with some bite to the lyrics.
Oh what the heck, here's another video.

And, of course, I'm a year too late to see them at Coachella. Gaaaah! I really should have gone last year, that was THE place to be. I'm going this year, and while it'll be good, the lineup's not blowing my socks off like last year.

Ray of sunshine indeed. When you get your head handed to you, hand it back, tell them they need it more than you do.
My Trusted MOGs
Haha, I'll need to try that.

Business majors are disoriented by thoughtful, heartfelt "fuck-offs!" wrapped in velvet.

I saw The Cribs open for Death Cab/Franz Ferdinand in spring of 2007. They were surprisingly polished but with lovely rough edges, if you know what I mean. Full full FULL of energy and LOUD. I'd like to see them now, see what's changed. Thanks for the vids--I haven't heard their new stuff.

jaw drops Wow, what a tour! Why oh why did I miss that one?
My Trusted MOGs
I saw it twice . In Sacramento and Vancouver BC. ;)
My Trusted MOGs
whoops...it was spring 2006. Time flys when you're rocking out.
My Trusted MOGs
Showoff. :P
My Trusted MOGs

:)
My Trusted MOGs
Good thing indeed. :)
My Trusted MOGs
Um, Word! Sure.
My Trusted MOGs
Hey! The Arctic Monkeys and the Replacements had a baby! (heh)
My Trusted MOGs
Three of them, even. I forgot to mention that they're all brothers.
My Trusted MOGs
Oh, brother! (As it happens, I'm a realist, too. These tracks are really firing me up for a short, daylight-savings-truncated Saturday night on the town, Dale. Thanks!)
My Trusted MOGs
Go get 'em, tiger! Wait a sec, daylight savings is today?!? Ugh, it's bad enough I'm up late working (with some MOGging on the side), but I'm losing an hour of sleep too?
My Trusted MOGs
Good call D... I'm diggin' the Cribs and haven't bothered to check for vid's!
My Trusted MOGs
excellent! would it be wrong to buy this with baby shower money? I mean, I can still say to folks that the dough went for cribs, right?
My Trusted MOGs
Oh sure, what could be better for a child's education than to have sweet tunes from thew womb? That'd be my story, at least.
