Jawbox – For Your Own Special Sweetheart LPJawbox For Your Own Special Sweetheart LP "The eight year career of Jawbox could be written as a cautionary tale: indie band signs to a big label, makes two great records that eventually fall out of print, and breaks up. But listening to Jawbox's freshly reissued 1994 major label debut, For Your Own Special Sweetheart, it's difficult to conclude they made the wrong decision by recording this album for Atlantic. The obvious reason is cold, hard cash:

physical and hypnotic live performance in which dancing and the internal rotation of eyeballs are guaranteed

it is easy to entertain

“Aging is so sad” is their latest song

Showcasing the engine room drumming of andy moore

On Anam Cara

personal and balanced if possible

it is finding a way to truly say I want to live

yet straight ahead

Mingus decided

Bruno Green flew back to Lennoxville

which is sometimes a little sad because the lyrics are beautifully poetic

from the Shins or Devendra Banhart to Pink Floyd
