"I know that this one is hardly out of the new-release bins, but I'd like to lead one more chorus of hosannas for the reissue of the Endtables' self-titled EP. This is a record that I haven't tired of- not a bit- in the 40 years since I first heard it. How is that possible? I'm afraid that the ability to explain such a thing is beyond my powers of analysis. For me, this will always be one of those perfect records. It's the sound of the damn thing. It's the chilliness of Steve Rigot's vocals, and it's the wild, blazing interjections of Alex Durig's guitar playing. - David Grubbs
