I don't know what those quotation marks mean, but a quick google search turned this up:Javits MockeryThe Generic Indie e.p.Rating: 8.1If you, like many others, are looking for some sincere indie folk/alt. country fusion to get you through the summer, then you should look no further than the lap-steel-drenched, glockenspiel-tinged stylings of Javits Mockery’s The Generic Indie e.p. The sprawling sophomore album from this Vancouver trio shows us a new side of The Mock—where their first album, Excessively Long Title That Vaguely References A Book We Think You’ve Probably Never Read was all about bringin’ the rock, the group has turned down their amps and brought out the campfire songs for Indie e.p. Stylistically, the album is a mixed bag—songs like I Left My Heart In The Trunk Of Your Car and Cat Dance are searing acoustic ballads guaranteed to rip your bleeding heart out at the seams and throw it at the nearest passerby, whereas tracks like the jazzy Futon Lover or the post-apocalyptic Pants Down take advantage of the boy-girl vocals used so brilliantly in Excessively Long—but usually consistently pretty okay. Certain tracks can be cringe-inducing (the inexplicable consistent feedback on Your Heart Is A USB Hub sounds, at best, like the worst of Metal Machine Music fighting with a stray lemur), but, all in all, The Generic Indie e.p. is melodic, melodramatic, beautiful, and a perfect soundtrack for spring. Kickass cover art, too.Okay, now we can all go back to pretending I have a life.

Still, this could be an excuse for some sort of FOT after-party at my place, maybe.

If so, you could just section off a small section of it with chicken wire, or do what my dad did years ago (he has a couple of gardens that he tills with compost mulch every spring) and prop up some boards next to the garden (in his case, he used four sections of old shipping pallets) and just start dumping the collected compost material inside the walls. should have everyone over for a party on the first warm spring Saturday.This will happen.
