THE REVIEW

USELESS SUNDAY AFTERNOON DISCUSSIONS

A - This stuff that’s playing sounds nice.

B - mmmmmmmmmm

A - I really like this rough version of "Height Miles High". This must be a New York-based band, the kind Pitchfork likes. I like their totally lo-fi sound,

mixing psychedelic influences, garage, Velvet Underground, C 86 darkness, metropolitan garage-folk, feedback, and background vocals. Modern but with past influences.

Yes, I like them. But who are they? They remind me of the early Crystal Stilts.

B - mmm what a pain. They are the Index, a band that recorded this work in Detroit in 1967 in 150 copies. So stop with your nonsense.

A - 1967 ? Cool though, but relax anyway.

B - mmmmmmmmm
