Have you heard anything about a domestic release of the album? I’m this close to biting the bullet and importing it

Oh man, I absolutely love “Knucklehead.” I especially like that super anthemic bit that goes “and we like awful tv shows and robot sluts and fucked up pets, cars and parts, semi-naked friends, blips and blops and lack of rest.”

I’ve been recommending Mcluskey to my friends for ages, and the recurring theme is that guys love them and girls don’t. So, Mcluskey For Girls (And Wimpy Indie Guys) definitely fills a neglected niche.

Not to say that they haven’t earned the attention, the songs are great! I especially love “Knucklehead.” “No pressure!/No pressure!/You’re having tea with/Fran Drescher!/Fran Drescher!” makes me laugh every time.

So it’s about fashionista boys with “attitude” who are emotionally papier mache.

Sort of a reply to “Just Like A Woman.” I know several of these guys. Great tune.
