Description
Alternate names for Sad Bastard Book Club: the Moaning Groaners, the Pale Ailers, the Complaint Department, The Good Ol' Charlie Browns. The album, You Gave It Your Best...Unfortunately, That's Not Saying Much, is a celebration of defeatism and pining, recorded in a shack made out of matchwood and alive with rats. Outtakes include my fave "It's Touching Moments Like This That Remind Me Why We Don't Talk Much," an acoustic guitar and funereal organ dirge for one of those instances of dad and son sincerity that make you flinch just to think about. - Richard von Busack sanjose.com
