Manitoba - Jacknuggeted EP


Manitoba's Jacknuggeted EP? Say What?!?!

Decided to up this when I saw the Up In Flames link has been visited 300 times. Wow. I salute your fine taste, dear ISSG patrons!

Something totally confuses me about Jacknuggeted. It's the only track on Up In Flames that I can't even force myself to listen to - I feel like it totally breaks the momentum of what would otherwise be an absolutely perfect album. It just seems so nihilistic compared to the rest of that joint.

But here we are, with a Jacknuggeted Ep, the first track is, yes, you guessed it: Jacknuggeted. (I want to see how many times I can get away with writing Jacknuggeted in one blog post.) Still not sure why I'm not rapturously in love with this particular track, 'cause the other B-sides on the EP are fucking golden. Exceedingly beautiful and awe inspiring. More good stuff from Canadian Dan Snaith, PhD. Check it, and rue the day you ever missed the Caribou/Fuck Buttons tour date in your town. Unless you got tickets to one of the shows. In which case, fuck you.

Much More Love
