This month Arctic Monkeys lost bassist Andy Nicholson, Panic! At The Disco lost bassist Brent Wilson … and now Deerhoof loses bassist Chris Cohen.
It’s true what they say about bassists quitting in threes.
Pitchfork also has two other fun Deerhoof news items today. The band (A) recently turned down Payless (!) from using “Twin Killers” in a commercial, and (B) posted a new 9-song MP3 on their website. Tunes include covers of the Beatles, My Bloody Valentine, Canned Heat, and Herman’s Hermits, and five live cuts. The download is allegedly available
, though I’m having problems accessing it at the moment. If you succeed, let us know which MBV song. And isolate it from the rest of the EP and send to me!

does this mean all copies of The Runners Four will have to be recalled for a name change
Bassists should be heard but not seen
j/k…Brent’s a nice guy. I wonder: did he fall, or was he pushed? Also, Andy Nicholson’s the big guy in the Monkeys right? I wonder if Andy and Brent got pushed out because they didn’t fit the slim guy image people wanted to promote… I don’t think that’d be true of Andy since it seems to be his decision, but the Brent thing could be a little fishier cause it’s a bunch of crap over there at foul smell records always expect the worst from people
i wanted to do this post. too late. now i’ll just have to link to yours.
I really liked big Andy. Besides, isn’t that him on the album cover? Won’t that be a problem.
…at least I think it’s him. It could be Adam Sandler though.
the MBV song is Lose My Breath
Its a bit after the middle
To lose one bassist may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose three looks like carelessness.
the arctic monkeys bassist is adorable. i hope he comes back soon. screw the skinny ones. ha.
This EP is really eggcellent. Thanks for the link.
The deerhoof-MBV cover of ‘lose my breath’ is incredible!
