I'm Indifferent to You, Rob Crow

Is it too late for me to "get into" Rob Crow?

Crow’s one of those guys who has about 40 bands plus 30 side projects, and unless you’ve been following him seriously for at least five years, it’s guaranteed that you’ll get lost along the way. I’ve delved into Heavy Vegetable quite a bit and a little bit into Pinback, but am still ignorant of the ways of Thingy, Physics, Optigonally Yours, The Ladies, Holy Smokes and yes, even the mighty Goblin Cock (with that name, they must be described as “mighty”).

See, when I heard this song…

Heavy Vegetable - Abducted By The Work Aliens

…I was sold on Heavy Vegetable.

When I heard this song…

Pinback - Tripoli

…I was sold on Pinback.

Basically, I need someone out there to suggest a single song by any of the other Crow projects that you think will “sell” me on it. So tell me what you think the best Goblin Cock song is, and I’ll see if I can be sold on Goblin Cock. Did I mention one of the side projects is called “Goblin Cock”?

This is less a typical post and more a plea for help, so I urge any of you out there to help me in my quest for the mighty Gobl…oh, forget it…saying it for a fifth time would be redundant.

Buy Fast Tempos And Odd Time Signatures (Heavy Vegetable) Here!

And Pinback, the band that everyone describes as “emo”. I don’t see an emo connection at all. I mean, come on….is every band who plays slighty sad, slow songs “emo”? Where do we draw the line? I’m going to try not to say that word for two months. "Emo", I mean. Not “Goblin Cock”. Anyway, Buy Pinback Here!
