Wow. The best record I've heard in years. I bought it when it came out, and I listen to it at least once a week, still.

really looking forward to their next album, Funeral was terrific. It's a shame I didn't see them live playing the whole of Funeral.

I loved this clip on Conan of the two guys with the helmets on, looks like a band that really knows how to have fun on stage, and still kick ash.

Here's the clip

I like the record a lot but after watching this video (and some others) it looks like this is a band I really need to catch live at some point.  Anyone catch this video of them with Bowie?  Simply amazing.

I have their "Live At Fashion Rocks" EP with Bowie. It's amazing. Their first self-titled "mini album" (pre "Funeral") is well worth owing too.

Yeah. I like the way Win is credited on the album as playing "Jaguar, Rickenbacker 360" instead of just plain old guitar. That's a man I can do business with.

:D
