Some Notices & Phoning It In
gonna round up some of the press that Be Still Please has been getting out there in cyberspace:
Tiny Mix Tapes says "oddly familiar yet strikingly different"
Pitchfork says "puttering around"
Dusted uses the words "lacerating" AND "withering" -- ouch! this record is dangerous!
still, All Music Guide acknowledges that it's a "hidden treasure"
and Popmatters, while overstating my age, does note some "fresh delights" therein.
in addition to these and other kind reviews, on the internet you can also go to the Merge Blog for a link to Portastatic live on the radio (WMBR Boston) via the olde fashioned telephone.

this has very little to do with the subject, but the SONAR club in baltimore's website has you listed as portostatic. i'm sure that never stops being absolutely hilarious for you.
Well...at least you're a former college rock king...
did you catch ms. hopper's 2 cents in the chicago reader? i agree heartily. and i think her well-timed use of "eviscerating" bested those Dusted peeps.
