    "El Rocio"

    Yes. Had low expectations for that last LP to be honest, but love it.

    Good live band, too.

    This one and "Exploded Drawings" were classics to my friends and I in high school. Also that "this eclipse" ep is the shit.

    Amazing live band too.

    Haven't listened these guys in forever. Wasn't too sure they'd hold up.

    this eclipse. yes.

    I did a search on here and through Yahoo and couldn't find anything but I also swore it had taken place before.

    I think "This Eclipse" is the only release of theirs I don't have.

    I thought this was going to be about Polvo's Mexican Restaurant on South 1st Street.

    Where'd those lions come from? That wasn't on the original artwork, I'm sure. Cool band although I haven't checked for them in many years.

    Yeah, those lions aren't on my copy, hmm...

    This thread made me pull out Superchunk "on the mouth", this still sounds pretty good to me after all these years I gotta say.

    The lions are strictly on OG's. Clipped from a religious tract and they got in trouble over it. Its really not a proper sleeve w/o 'em.

    Saw Polvo live with Kidinquisitive in like '95 at Bard College. Ash Bowie, fools!

    Polvo is cool, I have their albums.

    I still think archers of loaf is the genre's GOAT.

    Just like that archers of loaf song.

    the red lions were on the original artwork. they used that lion image without permission from some jehova's witness publication (i think) and had to pull it because the artist threatened to sue

    Never knew that about the lions. Is my OG copy worth $2,000 now?

    Badass band. Saw them live once. They were a bit too loud for the space, but rocked the hell out of it, anyway. Cool guys, too, talking to a bunch of rabid high school fanboys.

    i really don't know the worth of the lions cover. i have the cd, but i wish i had it on vinyl. um, is this where i'm supposed to check popsike?

    i'm kind of embarassed to admit that i like their cover of "mexican radio"
