You know what’s better than According to Jim? Godspeed You! Black Emperor, of course! While Efrim may not be as funny as Jim and Sophie not as wacky as Cheryl, GY!BE do something that According to Jim could never do good: write quality material! Haha!
Hilarious jokes aside, the group, which ended its hiatus earlier this year with announcements of an ATP curating gig and some UK shows, has just revealed a slew of North American dates for 2011. They ain’t coming to my neck of the woods, but as Cheryl said in an episode of According to Jim, “I’m really excited about [the GY!BE tour].”
