Speaking of Tim, did you see him and Jesse Michael's released a very open ivy sounding tune and have written other music together to hopefully be released?

Teen me is interested

[kosmo vinyl]

Yeah I need to check this out as well

Meanwhile, members of Rancid, Operation Ivy, Trash Talk and The Bronx recently came together to form a new project called Bad Optix.

The new ska-punk band was formed by Jesse Michaels and Rancid guitarist Tim Armstrong, both of whom performed together previously as part of ’80s band Operation Ivy.

Joey Castillo (Circle Jerks, The Bronx) and bassist Spencer Pollard (Trash Talk) complete the supergroup.

The National - First Two Pages of Frankenstein
due 4/28 via 4AD

 
this review is also a parody... vulture has out-pitchforked pitchfork

The National Are Now a Parody Act
Once a cure for melancholy, the National now feel like a cause.

A minor chorus of sneers and dismissals has stalked the National on their long slog to mass acceptance. For two decades, critics have mocked the band as the last refuge of curdling middle-age men who once thought themselves bound for something better. Even the most admiring reviews include secondhand sighs and half-chewed platitudes: “misery,” “torment … self-loathing,” “dour,” “morbid,” “gloomy,” “purgatory,” “mope-rock.” Carl Wilson, chief music critic for Slate, once let out a long runny sneeze of indictment: “Portentous, monotonous, self-conscious, and deficient in character and eccentricity.”
