This sounds great...
I used to hate GBV, save a song or two. I've seen the light in the past year-and-a-half or so. I think "Human Amusements" might've saved my soul...
Human Amusements is what turned me around, as well. I had always heard about these guys (especially Pollard's open drunkenness, of which I am a huge fan) but had never listened to them. Me and Derris were at some bullshit pub in Montgomery, AL of all places when muthafukkin Glad Girls came on MTV2 as we shot pool and drank beer. I bought the record but there was nothing as promising as that beautiful gem. So, aside from putting on just about every mix for two years, I kinda wrote them off. Then picked up the greatest hits on a whim and it knocked my dick in the dirt.
Aaaah, the revelatory powers of music. 'Tis why we're all spending so much time around these parts in the first place, no?
