Here is nearly 15 minutes of some of the best dirty obnoxious rock and roll out there: The Orwells, playing some highlights from Disgraceland between interview segments, live on KEXP.

Enjoy your Thursday / Thanksgiving, NTSIBBers.
True confession: I had regarded The Orwells with grumpy disdain for some time – possibly I listened to an off-track on a bad day, somewhere along the line – but recently I did a blind listen-test 1, and, readers, they passed.
Then yesterday I was poking around among Eddie O’Keefe’s videos and found this one, for Halloween All Year, which is a sentiment I can get behind:
The ORWELLS – Halloween All Year from Eddie O'KEEFE on Vimeo.
1 I dropped two of their tracks into the middle of a Soundcloud playlist, scrolled back to the beginning, pressed play and opened a new tab. Halfway through Who Needs You I thought Hold on, who is that, they’re pretty bad-ass, and clicked back to find out.
