It’s amateur hour again as I put on my music-reviewer pantsuit and present to you: Rob Crow

Maybe you’ve heard of Pinback. They’re an “indie rock” band from my home city of San Diego. This is your basic awesome band. Pinback’s music is dare I say? mesmorizing. My boy Rob Crow is one of the founders. His album Living Well is, in my opinion, better than anything I’ve heard from Pinback. This dude knows how to sing. Oh and play the guitar. And bass. And probably some other stuff, too.

Rob Crow makes me a proud San Diegan (even though I think he’s from Encinitas? eh, close enough). Before I end this gushing encomium, let me just say that Rob Crow’s musical genius is near that of Beck. There, I said it.

I’m taking off the pantsuit and am returning to normalcy. Enjoy.
