We found out about this thing called Face Control in Russia.

What is that?

If you want to reserve a table at a bar in Moscow, it’s $5000—and that’s at a normal bar. You do it through PayPal or you can do it by cash. Then when you go to the bar, there’s no guarantee you’ll get in because there’s this thing called Face Control. You line up and if they don’t like the way you look. We became obsessed with this idea. Being in Russia for a couple of days—I’ve always been fascinated by Russian politics. We wrote three songs on the train back, and that’s turned into a whole album. I’m really happy with it.

So all those supermodel daughters of oligarchs pass Face Control every time, I’m assuming.
Some of them do. We were told by Greg, the promoter—who also just did a show with Frog Eyes there and it went over great—that the most notorious Face Control bouncer in Russia works at a club around the corner from that one that Greg runs, and is famous for denying Russia’s most famous supermodel no less than three times. This is a place where it costs $15,000 to reserve a table. There is so much money there. We were walking by an advertisement for Toshiba, and it’s the most expensive advertising I’ve ever heard of in my life. Apparently that billboard costs $2 billion US a year to rent this one space near Red Square.

getting around to this a little late, but i'm loving every last bit of this i can't help but seem to think that this one will not be a record i am still reaching for a year from now, however.

Yeah, I bought a ticket to the bottle show last night in a drunken stupor. No complaints, honestly.

She can twist my knob anytime

so will this break the 8.x mark on Pfork? it should, but considering they only gave PP a 7.2, i could see it getting like a 7.7-8.9. def more like an 8.3+ record tho

[tennisclay]

yea i think its great. listening to it way more than FF

[surlacarte]

So is there a consensus that this is better than Plague Park? Probably will check it out then.

[Hewletts Daughter]

'Thy Will Be Done' is may be the best thing Dan Boeckner has ever done. And that's saying a whole lot.
