Deerhoof: Tears & Music of Love and, yes, that is a tiger

You can hopscotch your way all over the internet, immerse your skull into the murky oceanic depths of all of the sh*t that is passing for music these days and start your own band in frustration, only to discover you've got a whole bunch of half-baked songs and two instruments you can't play (very well anyway) at the same time (limb limitations okay?)...Or maybe that's just me I'm talking about. Enter small miracle! A band that plays original material with childlike enthusiasm, humour and passion. A band whose recent performance on Pitchfork TV in colour block t-shirts has me hankering for Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti, a box of Crayolas, elementary school free gym time and a Taxidermy 101 class.

Yes !!! 3 cheers for Deerhoof!
