• Do I think that Junior Senior is dynamite? Yes, and I think they're outta sight, as well. Sure, they name check themselves more than Ice-T's rock outfit Body Count did, but after catching their blitzkrieg of toe-tappin'n, head-bobbin'n, and outrageous funin'n at the Mercury Lounge last night, I'm ready to elevate these crizz-azzy-arsed Danes into my inner circle of most flavorite current bands (alongside Air, Blur, Fiery Furnaces, and LCD Soundsystem R.E.M.). As usual, I was late to the party with these bob fellers. I had heard the awesomeness of 'Move Your Feet' [d-lode], but had no idea who the fork sang it til I saw their debut, D-D-Don't Don't Stop the Beat , grace Ms Mod's Best of '03 list. Since I trust her more than internets inventors, duhvs course I was gonna buy the dang thing and fall in love with it instantly, like when I first eyed dearest Cuthbest, who was playing chess with her father Jack, sometime between 12:00 A.M.-1:00 A.M.. Moral of that aside? Buy the album and shake yer friggin coconuts. Wrap-up of the show? The sound board dude refused to give me the set list, but they played 4 new songs, which all sound like good things to come. Plus, Senior (the Senior of Junior Senior) could be the coolest guy on earth. He looks like the love child of Josh Homme, D-Day from Animal House, and Rip Taylor, AND has more energy than Howlin' Pelle Almqvist AND ConEd combined. These guys are so fun in concert that if I had a son and he was 13, they'd be playing his Bar Mitzvah. It would make for a night more dynamite than this so-called 'Junior Senior Dynamite Nite''.
