These guys will benefit from quickly going the way of the dodo. I think they may have had a record before their famous one (
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine), but there was very little output from these dudes.
I wish I could have seen them play in a little room...but they bailed on a Madison gig due to illness.
When I did see them play live, I thought they were sloppy. It might have been because I saw them at the first Pitchfork/Intonation festival.

This is pretty much all that needs to be said, but I'll say some more.
Their popular record was fun in a similar way to how
Nevermind was fun. Slick, produced, rokken. I turned a lot of people onto it my freshman year of college (makes sense).
I haven't listened to this stuff in forever, but I think it'll have staying power as a one-shot pop/rock record. Had they come out with a few more records, there would have likely been more CRAP votes, but they burnt out and faded away.
You're a Woman, I'm a Machine will be some kid's diamond in the rough record in 2021 or so (if we get that far).
It's like The Jesus and Mary Chain without all the records that you don't want to listen to. DFA1979 gave us their cotton candy version of
Psychocandy and bailed.
NOT CRAP, WF 8 for the live show I saw.
Posting to Electrical on a Saturday night. I gotta get outta this room.
