I'M CRAZY FOR EXCEPTER

Excepter are responsible for two or three of the best shows I’ve ever seen, one of the absolute worst shows, and possibly the most embarrassing thing I did at the last apartment I lived in. A few years ago they put out a 12" that ends with one of those “locked grooves” where the last few seconds of the record keeps on playing forever or until you finally remember to lift the needle. In this case, instead of music or feedback or some pithy joke-statement, the groove contained a single muted car-honk that sounded exactly like someone’s alarm going off down the block. After putting on the record slightly hungover one morning and spending half an hour shouting out the window at the asshole who left his car alarm on, I finally stormed outside swearing like a spazzed-out Rick Moranis and realized I’d been screaming profanities at a bunch of 5-year-old Puerto Rican kids playing in front of their grandmother on a completely quiet street. Oh, and I was literally in a bathrobe and socks.
