The Plastic Constellations - Stay That Way.
The best way to stay warm is keep moving. Last night was cold as fuck (I understand that this is relatively speaking because my cold as fuck is way warmer than yours) and it would've been nice to have this here jam from the Plastic Constellations. It's a midwestern kerosene generator of light and heat. It's the one thing that works in that old POS you've been driving (the heat!). It's the fire-generating-tension between you two. It's the type of song they're going to sing to the fucking rafters when they play their final show soon. And man what a sad day that will be.
I mean, the Plastic Constellations are great. Do you not know them? They had that record on French Kiss back in 2005 maybe? And their first one from even later ago was totally ridiculous. Their back cataloge is worth digging through. They're the type of kick-down-the-walls midwestern singalong dudes that you want to crack a beer with and remind you that places like Madison and Iowa City and Bloomington and Omaha are valid american cities with shit to offer. Right?
So listen. These dudes have a new one on French Kiss called We Appreciate you. It comes out in April and it's gonna be a hootenanny. The band is going to play at SXSW with the rest of the FK roster, and then that's maybe it for them. Anyway, it's highly recommended.
