Media: Jeff Rosenstock (Bomb the Music Industry!): ‘I Look Like Sh*t’

Posted by brittany on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 12:30 PM (EDT)

Jeff Rosenstock (Arrogant Sons of Bitches, Bomb the Music Industry!, Kudrow) has released a collection of songs entitled I Look Like Shit. Some of the songs are demos for an unreleased Bomb the Music Industry! EP, I Always Dread the End of Summer, while others are from a slower record Rosenstock was working on entitled I'm Serious, I'm Sorry. There are also covers of Pulp's "Dishes" and Ging Nang Boyz's "I Don't Wanna Die." Rosenstock decided to fix and release these songs since the original releases they were intended for will probably never see the light of day.

...I do know that if leave a bunch of food on your kitchen counter for too long, that shit is gonna get moldy, start attracting flies and smell like shit. So instead of having these jams just sit around doing nothing, here they all are along with some more new songs and some covers in full noisy drum machine shitty vocals glory.

I Look Like Shit is available for pay-what-you-want download on Quote Unquote Records.

Psyched to download this when I get home. Hopefully he's back to the more frentic, spazzy stuff he did before Vacation. Hate all you want, but I thought Vacation was kinda dull compared to the earlier albums.

Agreed, I was listening to Goodbye Cool World and OTHERS! OTHERS! today and I was thinking how much I miss his insanity.

Goodbye Cool World is by far and away my favourite release, but then it's closely followed by Vacation. Man, BTMI! never get old.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Vacation was much more coherent and enjoyable than the rest for sure.

Heard the Ging Nang Boyz cover and fell in love, then realized the rest of the record was just as awesome. YOU DA BESSSS, JEFF!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing, Jeff. Bonus Oceans and the Trash are instant standouts for me so far out of the ones you hadn't posted yet. Also, more piano is always nice to hear.

brangelina (Chris Farren of Fake Problems) (October 24, 2012)

Simply the best.

It seems he spelled "sound" wrong.

I can never unremember the music video to the original "I Don't Wanna Die".

The niceness of Jeff Rosenstock can't be overstated.

scandelicious (October 26, 2012)

yessss. needed more stuff that was like the "vacation" sound. becoming inactive after their best album would just be torture. i'm happy with this, even if it is just jeff, it's still basically bomb the music industry..
