having recently seen mid 90's live footage of Polvo it seems to me that Eddie Watkins can't keep time, which for me is a major turnout, even for a band this great. i love the drum parts he plays, especially on Exploded Drawing, though.
i hope the new guy has better rythm.

Jesus, an Italian tour would be a dream come true...

and half of Shapes is pure gold.
Enemy Insects...how can you beat a melody like that one?
these people were geniuses!

i absolutely love shapes. just not on the kerble level. when i wanna rock, i put on "rock post rock."

the ancient romans used to say "de gustibus non disputandum est.
that means, more or less "Marsupialized is one lucky guy".

I love Polvo -- especially Exploded Drawing

I suggest you keep trying

I hear they are toying with the idea of calling the tour 'Boring in the USA'

I heard that some chubby guy that stands in front of one of those yamaha button boxes is ill chosen for letting the rest of us know what constitutes 'boring.'
