Titus Andronicus & Adem - mp3 review
August 29th, 2006 r8e8rcomAlright, I’m still REALLY wasted from last night. I was suppose to go to an Adem show, but when I realized that no one was going go with me I decided to follow the heard (i.e. the insound kids) and go to my friends (creature presents) show at pianos. Titus Andronicus is 5 and/or 6 kids (all under 21) that play loud, dirty, raw, sloppy, punk. It was perfect. Exactly what you expect a punk show to be. They even told us all to fuck off and then apologized later. Awesome. My friend Billy was there and kept saying they sounded like Dead Milkmen meets Broken Social Scene but he was more wasted than me so I’m not sure that’s a credible comparison. He was also the one feeding me free tall glasses of whiskey so I’m a bit bitter as I trudge through this email still wasted 8 hours later. Anyway I’m sending a few Titus Andronicus tracks so you can tell me what you think they sound like. And because I feel bad for missing him, I’m sending some Adem as well. It should be obvious after listening to Adem that I wouldn’t still be wasted right now if I went to the Adem show.

Where have the reviews been lately? Dave, come on. I thought for sure you’d at least make of me for that last email.
