I not saying Lou isn't an able acoustic performer.  I'm certain I saw him at Maxwells in this format around this time period and enjoye...

Gwiz-gau Letter Grade:B Sad To See It Go?:No Lou Barlow was one of those guys at some point decided I had to have every tape fart and utterance of from about 1990 until the disappointing Sire Records Sebadoh album (yes I was monitoring The Folk Implosion, the Kids soundtrack tracks were favorites as were the run of great Sub Pop Sebadoh releases). It wasn't...
