Starfucker "Jupiter" a Review in 3 Parts

I fucking love Starfucker! I am not gonna lie, up until I saw them live last month at The Rhythm Room I hadn't even heard of them, but they blew me away then and when I was lucky enough to get an advance copy of Jupiter it's been on steady repeat ever since.

I don't want to go off on a bunch of hyperbole and stupid metaphors but I will give you a list of things that Jupiter will be awesome to listen to whilst doing:

1) Having sex
2) Driving
3) Driving and having sex
4) Farming
5) Woodworking
6) Push-up contests
7) Rollerskating
8) Firing someone
9) Painting a tribute mural of Tupac and Biggie under a freeway underpass

Now here is a list of things where it would not be very appropriate:

1) Skeet shooting
2) Waxing your surfboard
3) ...um that's it, those are the only two things I can think of and honestly you really could wax your surfboard to it if you wanted, but seriously DON'T listen to anything while you skeet shoot, that's just dangerous man.

Any band that can pull of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" with such panache and moxie is group of fellows that I just have to get behind. I highly suggest you do the same.

In closing if you are the type of person that likes to dance or likes to listen to music that was made for people that like to dance and have a good time by dancing and having fun you will be doing yourself a disservice by not purchasing Jupiter when it comes out on May 5th. I rest my case.
