i want one of these, really badly. if you are wondering what it is, it is a darth vader lamp. duh! the face looks like a piece of rootbeer flavored hard candy, yum, and his helmet looks like its made of evil sequins. all of which makes it even the more awesomer! want one? click here
sadly, lucy’s fur coat is just one band in a long line of many san diego based bands that have gone the way of the cassette tape. during the early - mid 90’s it seemed like their was just a shitload of great bands comin out of san diego. then after a year or so they just rolled out like a fog, never to be heard from again. the music, on the other hand, was kinda like teenage love makin. hard, fast and no style, but thats what made em great. lucy’s fur coat’s jaundice is what i would catagorize as the epitome of the san diego scene - at least from the outside looking in. the record is a hot mess and sounds like it was recorded over a long weekend that included, but not limited to copious amounts of beer and weed… its absolutely glorious though.
luckily for you, the gentelmen of lucys fur coat have both of their records available for download free o’ charge.

now these things have been passed around so much you can drive a truck through em - if you are pickin up what i am putting down. i had accidentally deleted mine a few years back and when they showed up on dime the other day i had to get em. not as cool as the yankee hotel foxtrot demos but still pretty great stuff.
here are the summerteeth demos by the greatest band to ever be featured in a vw commericial, wilco…
