black lips

There's a moment on the new Black Lips record, Los Valientes Del Mundo Nuevo (out Feb. 20 on Vice), where the frontman realizes out loud, "This is gonna be the best live record of all time." The dude sounds serious, and he makes his bold claim with such conviction that we aren't even going to argue. As we mentioned previously, the record was recorded live in Tijuana, and it sounds like it, at least as much as that's possible. And I mean that as the highest possible compliment...if you've spent any time there you'll know what I'm saying.
