Another Indie band this came out in 2010. This band is from Atlanta and have had many different members since it’s forming in 2001. I had only listened to side one a couple of times and didn’t like it very much. The one song I did like on that side is “Desire Lines” written by guitarist Lockett Pundt. Listening to side two I liked it a little better. Again my favorite was “Fountain Stairs” also by Pundt. All other songs were written by band leader Bradford Cox. I also like “He Would Have Laughed” and “Helicopter” that includes a newspaper article about a Russian teenager who worked as a male prostitute and gay porn actor who was reportedly thrown out of a helicopter by a Russian organized crime figure who was the boys lover. The cover is a picture of a participant in a cross dressing pageant at the Starlite Lounge in Atlanta on its last day of existence in 1982.
