ok, i seem to remember that last year they played the black cat, and quite a few people on here seemed to say the show sucked.  but now they have returned with a new album and are getting ravey reviews everywhere i read.  it's a new (but still with shaking hands) evan, i hear.  they even have a downloadable single on their myspace site, featuring j. mascis on guitar.  good molly, miss golly!  is it safe to assume that the december show, back at the black cat, is a worthwhile bet now?
