Any fans here? Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven is 10 years old this year and still amazes me with each listen. I've got it on pretty regular rotation and it's great to go somewhere with an amazing view, put the headphones in and just get lost in it for a while. Would love to see them live too.. :)
Like a book among the many on a shelf...

    Amazing band - will be seeing them live in December (well, unless they cancel, or the world ends...)

    The 2nd track on the 2nd disc on Lift Your Skinny Fists... has the most amazing guitar solo ever. It's either at 4:30 or 5:30 (I can never recall which) into the track.

    And the ending to the last track on Yanqui UXO is superb.

    Anyone get the chance to see them on their west coast swing? I was fortunate enough to score a ticket to their Seattle show about four hours before the doors opened (I was in town goofing off). Amazing show. Ended up being right up front "second" row (Mike's side...as in Mike Moya, haha). I really wish I had been able to make it to more of them.

    anyone seeing them in Oct./Nov.?

    They doing North American and European dates: http://cstrecords.com/shows/

    Their record label, Constellation, is celebrating their 15th anniversary and doing some pretty cool shows over in Europe with a lot of other acts from the roster (Do Make Say Think, Thee Silver Mt. Zion, etc): http://cstrecords.com/constellation-cel ... this-fall/

    I'm definitely going to try and make it to the Bern, Switzerland blow-out.
