“From the end of your leash” is so good I’ve purchased it twice! It’s (IMO) his best album

I first heard of BBJr on the old Postcard mailing list – they went crazy over his first album, Young Criminal Starvation League, and it was well deserved. Solid album. “Ill Be Around” is a great great song. So are a bunch of others from it.

Second album has some gems too, but isnt as strong overall. I don’t know much about their EP.

BBJr is great – I think each of his albums has some merit, but the best is the first – Young Criminals Starvation League. “I’ll Be Around” is one of his best songs and there are many other gems on there too. “Flat Chested Girl”, “Hey Mehan”, and the Smiths cover especially, but lots of great songs. Guy’s got some voice.

The second album has a food good tunes too – “Valentine” and the 4th song which I can’t think to name right now. Overall not as strong but worth checking out if you’re a fan.

Neither is as loud and electric as The Longest Meow. There’s an EP too, but I don’t think I’ve got that one.

I first heard of him way back when on the old Postcard mailing list….everyone was going crazy for a while about the first album.
