I know that it's not even Halloween yet (by the way, your idea of sewing a baby doll to your ass and going as a "babysitter": gold), and you probably have no intention of looking as far into the future as 2008. You are living in the moment, day-by-day, with no regard for the fact that you are getting older and older, and the amount of time between your college graduation and now is growing larger and larger. What have you got to show for all this free living, anyway? Nothing, that's right.
Now, don't be depressed, as I have some joyous news: Matador Records has announced that the first month of the new year will see a new LP from Times New Viking, Ohio's noisy-garage combo with an unstoppable furry. Feel better? Good. The new record, titled Rip It Off, will be the group's debut for Matador, after releasing this year's Present the Paisley Reich
(TMT Review) and 2005's Dig Yourself on the esteemed Siltbreeze label.
While the band's current itinerary looks a little sparse, it could potentially blossom into something bigger and better after the record comes out January 22 of ‘08. That's another thing to look forward to. Life's so rad.
