Black Lips free download

Today's Song of the Day free download is the Black Lips' "Not a Problem." The young guys from Georgia mine the Nuggets-era sound on this song, but I think this release only hints at how raw and awesome they are live.
The Black Lips opened up for the Dirtbombs at the 7th Street Entry last spring, and when they first began their set, I thought, “Yup, the next generation of whipper snapper garage rockers.”
Then they got to me. Maybe it was the one guitarist’s gold teeth; maybe it was the singer’s mustache, maybe it was the way they seemed genuinely into their music, while being eccentric and kind of unstable. It gave me hope for the future.
Since then, I’ve read about them in Vice magazine (the Black Lips record is on Vice Records label), which claims them as their house band right now because they’re a great band who also occasionally get kicked out of clubs. I’ve read reports about vomiting and other bodily fluids (kind of gross, true). But aside from the opening scream -- its bite muted by production -- and the raw scream-singing found in the chorus, the song sounds like uncomplicated Byrds-inspired garage rock. Check out the free download. I wonder if I’ll ever get tired of that garage rock?

Three things I remember from that show:
1. Black Lips were fantastic.
2. Dude totally had some gold fronts
3. Singer would spit and then catch it in his mouth.
Everything after that was a blur due to the blinding awesomeness of The Dirtbombs.
