I’ve seen The Ravonettes live twice at SXSW and while I like them, I’m not wild about their live show. What gets me juiced is listening to them while driving. This first happened after driving home from seeing Chrissy, a PhD candidate from UC Riverside that has since broken my heart twice. I hit the road around 3 AM, no one was on the freeway and my iPod was set to play my latest eMusic downloads. That’s when I first heard “Lust Lust Lust” by The Ravonettes and that terrible drive was transformed into a lone wolf’s nocturnal swagger across asphalt highways.

Now I haven’t heard the new album in its entirety but if this one song not only got me to post this but also institute a whole new subcategory of post, you’d think it’s gotta be worth it, no? FYI, thanks to Stereogum for the free MP3.
