[Lizard King]

Go see the Phonics, wherever you are. The new album is probably the best I've heard so far this year, and perhaps their best since Performance and Cocktails. It's a how to for bands to evolve without forgetting the sound that made them popular in the first place.

Hmm...I kind of lost interest in them for a couple of years there. I still own Word Gets Around and Performance & Cocktails, and I always loved their cover of "Fiddler's Green". Pershaps I'll give this new one a listen. I hear they're amazing live. Anybody see them at Edgefest 2003 when they opened for the Hip? I wish I coulda been there.

I saw them at Edgefest, the dam drummer got kicked out of the band that week, so they played sorta acoustic, it was still good. Im surprised you gave up on them, the J.E.E.P album was really good I thought.
