 One day until the new Evil Cowards comes out, but I'm not really hearing anything about it. Is EC that obscure?

 Saw 'em in DC last night. A lot of fun, highly recommended (especially at $15 a ticket). Band briefly walked off stage after some dude kept grabbing at Dick and then managed to jump up on stage, but a hearty chant of "gently caress THAT GUY! gently caress THAT GUY!" brought them back out.

I really didn't like Mustang, as in it has the least songs I like of any album.

Nom de Plume - i really liked it.
Show Me What Your Lights Means - classic E6 kind of thing.
The New Shampoo - totally a Hello! I See You, I'm a fan.
Late Night Obama Food - interesting lyrics but not that great.

Rest of the songs are kind of bland and forgettable, compared to previous albums.

Maybe it's just me but it kind of feels like the lyrics are getting a bit lazy. Every other album has several songs with kind of iconic and rememberable (is it a word?) lyrics but the only thing from Mustang that stuck in my mind is "We are desperate! We'll eat anything they'll put inside the box."

EDIT: I guess I'll just sit in the corner listening to old albums and cry bitter tears.

Yeah, more or less in the same boat. Also I wish they could afford a better producer or something, doesn't really sound great.

Andy D is an amazing opening act and should tour with Electric Six, always. Imagine if Danny McBride had a trashy band that consisted of him and his wife. very funny and entertaining. Amazingly nice guy as well.

My sister had an interview with Dick Valentine and afterwards we sat in the 'green room' and talked poo poo. The man does not like Russia.

Great guy. Really drat timid actually. And short. But when the stage persona fades there's just a really sweet guy under there who really loves his job. Not what I expected.

Anywhere we can catch that interview?

 The new album is out there. I'm struggling to find anything to like in this one.

It's not bad, it's just...mediocre, IMO.

Yeah, nothing sticks out. With every other E6 album there are at least a few great tracks, but here it just feels so samey. And good god do they need to find a better producer!

 Album is out now, and I'm really surprised by how much I like it. A few duds, but mostly just from Dick yelping when I wish he would play it a bit cooler. Overall leagues better than BDLMD and a really solid album.
