I DO like them, Samiam


Looks like Samiam are in the process of putting out their first record in six years. I think I'm actually a little excited for it. They used to be one of the Bay Area bands I completely obsessed over but lost track (interest) when they made that Snake Canyon jump to a major label. (I do remember seeing a video set in a kitchen for "No Size That Small" on MTV that wasn't half-bad.) It didn't kill them, at least not literally, but I never took the time to fully investigate their last two full-lengths. Well, I've recently dived into 1998's You Are Freaking Me Out and it's pretty freakin' good. I might think differently and call this too polished or cheesy if it was a newer band but I'm not. That's my prejudice and I'm stickin' to it.
