Growing in number

Remember when I said "fuck is the new wolf"?

Well, check out the new album by Yo La Tengo's "side project":
Before you say anything, let me point out that these guys are no trend-hoppers. Apparently the CF's have been around for 20 odd years and their extensive catalogue includes such climaxes as "Fuckin' Gary Sandy" and "More Than A Fucking". Fuck me! So if anything you can put them among the many other old bands that have reunited upon discovering that "the kids" have adopted their schtick.

This news comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Toronto's Holy Fuck will be fucking their way to Brisbane and playing the Zoo on December 13th, supported by fucking good local bands Taste of Teeth and Toy Balloon. And Fuck Buttons will be pressing the "f" key at the Australian ATP in January.

Something is definitely happening here. It's a genuine fucking movement. Keep your eyes peeled and send any information (in the words of People magazine: "Send us your fuck stories") to Fuck Watch c/o Is By Bus.
