Because I didn't have enough from bands bringing it back in the 80s and 90s. Why does garage rock keep coming back? Probably because it takes the lowest amount of actual skill AND creativity to produce. Thanks Black Lips for resurrecting Garage rock in the OOs.

Hey, if a dick says it, it must be true. “Don’t you think if a dick like Jared Swilley calls this kid a dick, and has actually met him and spent time around him, THEN HE MIGHT BE A DICK?”

Davy can write like "an arrogant jag-off" all he wants. Know why? Because this is his fucking blog. And its a damn fine blog at that. Where is your blog that does so much to promote local music? Seriously, if you have one I'd really love to read it. 2. If you seriously think that "the Black Lips’ first three albums [...] resurrected the garage-rock/punk genre in the ’00s," then you need to get your head examined. I'm not trashing the Lips - if they can make a living doing what they enjoy, then I won't knock them for it even if it ain't my thing - but I sure would love to see people stop talking about them like they're doing something even remotely original.

Some people still believe that's not how independent/DIY acts should behave. Or fuck over De Stijl records, who was originally slated to put out his first record, before being ditched for Woodsist. Or act like a whiny prima donna to promoters across the U.S. I also think you should stop writing like such an arrogant jag-off. Plenty of people know/knew who Psychedelic Horsehit was/is. I've seen them live myself three times, twice before Wavves existed. They also have one or two LPs on the "new release" wall at Criminal. Don't you think if a dick like Jared Swilley calls this kid a dick, and has actually met him and spent time around him, THEN HE MIGHT BE A DICK?! You can't also think this kid's limp, spewy home recordings are better than the Black Lips' first three albums, which resurrected the garage-rock/punk genre in the '00s, a genre you've proven to know nothing about time and time again.
