2011 SHORTLIST

I still wonder how could I discovered the true greatness of Deerhoof so late. Do I have friends? are there radio stations out there? ...even my six years old daughter had already seen this before me and she's still repeating over and over: basket ball basket ball basket ...Bunny jump Bunny jump Bunny Bunny Bunny jump! priceless! The truth is, Deerhoof vs Evil worked for me as a master key to the other amazing albums from Deerhoof and that is... somehow embarrassing but... I'm cool, I'm cool.
