breaking news!

all right my lovelies: i'm busting this one wide-open. crystal skulls has broken up. who are crystal skulls you say? here's my review of their disc:

review of outgoing behavior

they were one of my favorite new finds this year, and i really can't recommend outgoing behavior highly enough. they played a great show with minus the bear back a couple months, and i'm quite sad to hear of their passing. unconfirmed reports say that bassist yuuki matthews is going to be holding down the low end with spoon, while their drummer (who's either named casey foubert or ryan phillips) is heading off to play guitar with sufjan stevens. go figure. still and all, two great albums in a little over a year and a half is a cream-like number, worthy of the best bands from the sixties, so let's applaud 'em and send 'em on their way.

in other news: zibra zibra won the battle of the underage underground last night at first ave.
