(Not me and not my grandma)

Like previously mentioned, us f/k fellows have been working quite a lot lately, and as a result our post output has decreased a bit. In fact, I’m mustering all my remaining energy of the day to do this one, so I hope you enjoy it. I blast this song sometimes when I drive to my grandma’s for some grub on my lunch break, because it seems to fit very nicely with the warm weather and sunny days we’ve had recently. It’s Wavves before he hit it big via Pitchfork, had a meltdown, and broke some bones skateboarding.

Right now I’m having a miniature obsession with the punk rock of Wavves. There’s no glamour, no ego, and no gimmick and this one man show. Nathan Williams is the San Diego dude behind the band. His newest album, Wavvves, (three v’s) sounds like he recorded it in a basement with crappy equipment and then just put it out there in this chaotic, low-fi manner for people to listen. In the same vein as No Age, Guided By Voices, and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Wavves channels the fuzzy, overdriven mystique well. Here’s the song “No Hope Kids” from Wavvves, it drives straight ahead with a punk rock determination that hasn’t been seen in years.
