Anyone looking forward to the new Fischerspooner?

It comes out next week and I can't wait, even though it's getting bad reviews. I'll stil get it and form my own opinion but i'm hoping they're wrong. Uh huh, that's right!

i'm kinda sorta looking forward to it. i loved their last album, though they were the worst live performers i've seen in my life. people have tried to tell me that was on purpose, and if that's the case, i think they're even MORE horrible, because they did a crappy job of trying to look crappy. it was just all-around natural crap.

anyway.

yeah, i'll get the new album.

All the interviews I've heard and read about Odyssey don't equal the mediocrity of the first single. The mumbo jumbo about a difficult songwriting process didn't result in a worthwhile struggle, apparently. I'm so glad you can listen to an album in-store nowadays.

1. lip-synching
2. bad lip-synching
3. drunken bad lip-synching
4. cheesy stage design
5. insulting the audience throughout the show
6. pointless drunken rants throughout the show (and as a courtney love fan, i LOVE a good drunken rant, believe me)

ask TOFKA, she was there. we were both trapped in hell that night. though the opening act was kenna, and he was great.

Cool, sounds like my kind of show! biggrin

Seriously though, I have heard before that their shows are like that and that they do it on purpose but who knows? I will still buy the cd and I wouldn't mind checking them out in concert too.

you know, i've seen shows where people try to act crappy for the sake of being funny, and if this is what fischerspooner was doing, then i think they suck even worse, because they did a rotten job of parodying a crappy band.

it was just straight-up BAD. no little hipster 'wink-wink' irony about it. if ya poop in a godiva box, it's still poop.
