Having gained popularity through their absurd live shows??which usually involve severe inebriation, prevalent nudity, osculation between band members, and nearly every bodily fluid imaginable—it’s not surprising that the Black Lips might find it difficult to convey that same intensity on a studio album.

...course I don’t calculate this coldly—and neither do the contestants on reality shows??but we live in a world that both Shakespeare and sociologist Erving Goffman compared to a theatrical stage. When we are all acting through life, figuring out what roles are likely to thrive is central to achieving success. And reality shows offer dozens of controlled experiments in narrative creation.
