 "It's about me leaving home, because the concept about home when I was growing up as a kid, everything about it... the people I knew and the places I lived, and ...California even, right? It doesn't exist." - Anton Newcombe, Keep Music Evil

 "'Anton was drinking, like, a gallon of vodka a day, and he wouldn't go to sleep, man. He was just pumped on adrenaline and just wanted to beat the fucking shit out out of everybody. Everybody. On the street. The cashier. Didn't matter who.'" - Frankie, Keep Music Evil

"Thus, paralleling the general expectation of multiple orgasms instilled by the proliferating sex industry, the cinema has created the multiclimactic film in which narrative sense and dramatic structure are sacrificed to a sequence of sensationalistic shocks-a soullessly carnal genre appealing to the lowest common denominators in human nature: erotic titillation and the childish love of being thrilled or horrified. (Where linear development lingers on in the film world, it does so mainly in limply ironic form, typified by the designedly meaningless drift of the ‘road movie’.)" - Ian MacDonald, Revolution in the Head: The Beatles and the Sixties

 Found out about this band from Bob N . on 3 Songs Podcast . From the Netherlands, We Are Joiners produce a fuzzy, pop, early rock and roll, only youth can evoke, vibe the velvets birthed into the world. A weird cross between Neutral Milk Hotel and Buddy Holly. Sometimes it reminds me of playing tackle football on a snow-covered streets. And sometimes it reminds me of the smell of chlorine and noticing girls for the first time. Regardless, I envy the young bastards. God bless them. And I'll keep listening.  Hear/Listen
