aussie webzine: "stooges no, me-thinks si"

dee-troit/garage/punk-obsessed aussie webzine the i-94 bar, which recently panned stooges reunion alb the weirdness, just ran a more favorable review of the mighty me-thinks' make mine a double e.p. the bar, which uses a scale of rolling rock beer bottles in lieu of stars, awarded haltom city's pride 4 rolling rocks, easily eclipsing the scrappy little hustler from ann arbor and his crew, who garnered only 2 1/2 rolling rocks. (yeah, i know, art isn't a competition, and ig 'n' the boyzzz will earn millions this year, while ray, marlin, will, and trucker will make beer. what the fuck ever.) makes me proud to have once scribed for the bar.

what with the all music guide's mark deming having also given the weirdness thumbs down, i'm almost dreading its incipient arrival in my mailbox. but honestly, it'd be extremely unrealistic to expect guys pushing 60 who cut three, count 'em, _three_ world-shaking recs as snotnoses to do it again this late in the day. what they're doing here is what evabody with a virgin contract and a megabuck tour in 2007 is doing: making money. good on iggy for making it happen for the ashetons while they're still healthy enough to enjoy it. myself, when i wanna hear stooge music, i'll continue doing what i've always done: slap on my vinyl copy of funhouse. which, as we're fond of saying around mi casa, is _enough_.

but i digress. kudos to the me-thinks, and to indian casino records honcho jack bensonhurst: let's see what you can do with _that_.
