Thanks for the Pirner

I've dithered on the Girls, right? One day I say "this is really good!" and the next I'm all "Ugh!" Good hooks, yes, but songs are for the most part ready to have a minute excised from them, and the guy's goon voice...well, I had this all settled for me with this picture. That is, I now can come down on one side of the fence or the other and they are cast on the "meh" pile.



Even ironically (or worse, genuinely), bringing back this Dave Pirner/Jane's Addiction-y look is a bad, bad idea. The earnest Spring 1991-ness of this is EXCRUCIATING. Not that everyone should look like V Weekend, but some things/looks are better left dead.
