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?
