A Kick In The Pants…
Check out this first official taste of The Big To-Do with the premier of This Fucking Job, what could be the liner notes and this bad ass Patterson quote over at Stereogum:
I grew up worshiping Rock and Roll like a religion. I know its shortcomings and strengths but have loved it unconditionally all the same since I was eight-years old. I ran away and joined the circus and honestly, I’m still as obsessed as I was as a boy. I’m not a kid anymore but I still remember how it felt and it doesn’t really feel all that different to me now. I pay the price, but I get to get up there with my best friends and tell dirty and violent stories about desperate people in troubled circumstances. I get to turn it up loud, and sometimes I even get to dance.
There’ll Probably Be Eight Or More Of Them Sittin’ All Around…
