It's nice to see that somebody at Pitchfork actually likes the man- given they're usually terrible reviews of his albums. It's a nice bit of publicity for the "best of". Pitchfork isn't all that bad.
About Jumping Beans: So he seems to like a lot this song (personaly I put it in an eventual top 3 of all FB's song). So why did it just ended up on Oddballs ? The eternal mystery of Jumping Beans....
And about the live TOTY era: So... that band wasnt punk ? Strangely I never felt that near-intolerable density with the catholics. You finished those shows with a feeling of "too much", and I'm not even saying that was a very enjoyable feeling. Pretty violent, actually.
