Vivian Girls' unflattering bathtub interview has come to define the band to some folks, but remember: We all have bad days and say stupid things, it's just that they aren't captured on videotape while we sit fully clothed in a bathtub. Plus, at the end of the day, they write good songs and have a great clattering post-C86 sound, which is what matters most. See, for instance, the upbeat and lo-fi "Lake House," their contribution to the eight installments of Almost Ready's The World's Lousy With Ideas 7" series.
