dough, you got one brother left, man

the men of shellac dont give a fuck what you or i think. you want proof? listen to any shellac record and i think its pretty evident that they dont. cold and mechanical is the way of shellac and nobody does it better. shellac was the perfect soundtrack for my days of meandering through the streets of the cold and depressing chicago winters. whether it was making my way to the bus/el or stumbling out of bar/record shop, shellac was never far from my ears. they are really the only music that makes me wanna shove someone and then laugh in delight.

their new record, excellent italian greyhound, is classic shellac. if you already dig that uneasy feeling that each shellac record can give ya then you will definitely not be disappointed. in fact, its probably their best since at action park.

here they are performing @ the music unlimited festival on 11.11.01.
