You wanna a fascinating backstory forget Jim Sullivan read up the the Eels lead singer E (Mark Everett) life story. Spoiler: it’s super depressing.

To be fair he’s had a pretty rough run in life..you can see why the music can be a doomy at times

Oh for sure. I wasn’t trying to be unfair. My whole point was that he’s had an interesting/tragic life and that his personal tragedies have shaped his music.

I could not pick a Cake song out of a line up. I always confused them with Cracker.

While not a big Eels fan, they definitely were on my early 20s indie rock radar a heck of a lot more than Cake. Interesting regional differences

If you've ever heard one Cake song you could easily recognize any other Cake sound. They definitely have a sound.

Not really sold on UFO. May have to swap, for the first time ever (!). Have been riding steady as a neverswaper since Youth Lagoon.

There's going to be an overabundance of U.F.O. records in their warehouse after this month, it seems.

This Cake talk made me discover this, which hopefully happens:

This was my first whale I acquired, cost me $250 3 years ago

And my swap options are limited to nothing I really want.

I remember Cake here in the U.K. my mate was well into them though so that may be why. I seem to remember them for covers though, did they do lots of covers? I definitely remember I Will Survive.

They did a few for sure. I Will Survive, War Pigs and Guitar Man immediately come to mind.

There will also be a glut of cheap U.F.O.s on Discogs. My opening guess/bid is they’ll average $15.

I am gonna jump on a $14 copy that will inevitably show up in their amazon store 6 to 10 months from now (that’s how I acquired my copy of the Silvertones).

This was my first whale I acquired, cost me $250 3 years ago

I had 2 copies of it and got both at cost. Their website messed up when they sold them and said an order didn't go through so I reordered with a different email. Ended up with both. Sold the extra copy for cost plus 2 Modest Mouse reissues. Looking back they got a steal but resale wasn't as insane as it is now.

I’ll buy one for 10 bucks, probably in a bespoke box next year

Agreed. It'll probably be alongside that Phoenix record as well

So guys a couple of months ago, not long after the Juju VMP exclusives came out, I told Storf on Twitter they needed to keep reppin' my home town of Richmond, Virginia. He replied back telling me I'd be happy later this year.

So far, nothing out of RVA has come up again, but I think I figured it out. November's metal VMP release?

Without further ado...

Spoiler: Oh yeah, that's the stuff

Careful, we’re going to have 2 pages of people debating the efficacy of this as an “essential” record. And my only reply to them is, of course it is.

Or Lamb of God?

 

[Mather]

Or Lamb of God?

Ooooo Lamb? I love Lamb!

Wait... I didn't see that second part..

-googles Lamb of God-

Oh... OH GOD.

Oh... OH GOD.

True story, a camp counselor at the Christian (yes, really) summer camp I went to woke us all up one morning by blasting Lamb Of God out of a loudspeaker.
