yeah, you can definitely feel the void that Jack left. i wish they would have just gone on as Bad Friends. doing it like this is almost disrespectful to themselves, you know? not that the new stuff isn't good, it's just too different to be DTM.

Agreed ^

With the exception of Modern Muse. That song does breathe Dead To Me.

Has anyone heard Bad Friends? I'm curious to see what their set is like at the fest compared to dead to me's seeing as its the same three people.

I haven't given their record a fair listen yet, but everyone is saying negative things and it scares me. I don't mind if it's just different...different things can be good. But I'll be sad if it sucks.

It isn't that great, but I don't think it sucks. It just doesn't sound like Dead To Me, and that's something I don't like. You're right, different things can be good, but this is way slower and not half as catchy as Cuban Ballerina and Little Brother are.

They were so fucking good at the fest. GOD DAMN.

SEEING THEM FOR FREE ON MONDAY AT MY FAVORITE BAR HOT DIGGITY GODDAMN

They're coming in for an interview next week at Sideone. I'm stoked, gonna be a little creeper.

After a few spins, African Elephants really grew on me. There are one or two duds, but after you just accept that it's different, it's a solid record. I think "Blue" is DTM's "Animal."

African Elephants is fucking ace i think i enjoy it more than Cuban Ballerina
