Pure Gold

The Weekly's penetrating and probing gastronome, Jonathan Gold, has been unsheathed to discuss a non-food item in the current issue-- he's been charged with reviewing the new album by the Mars Volta. And what does Mr. Gold think of their new record?

"You’ve got to give it to the Mars Volta. It is unusually difficult to decide whether their new record, Frances the Mute, is amazing, or whether it is the worst fucking thing you have ever heard in your entire fucking life."

And he doesn't seem quite able to shake off the shackles of conflict and uncertainty through the rest of the article. Which makes me want to hear the record. And go eat some shrimp pancreas in Koreatown.
