All the New Erections hate comes as a pretty big surprise to me. Everyone I know that likes the Locust (including a couple really hardcore fans of them) pretty well agree New Erections is their best yet.
And I have never in my life heard of clitakat itakawi, and upon googling it... literally no results. Pretty well known band, y'say?

*And asp, no, I wasn't kidding. I think you are a name-dropping, hip-ass bore... Cue another essay in 3....2....

k-krack, don't fuck with asp. This is a MUSIC forum. It's where we talk about MUSIC. Clikitat Ikatowi was very popular in the early 90s. Try spelling their fucking name right and you'll get a few more results.

New Erections is just as fucking terrible as all other Locust albums.

i will have to agree that they were and still are pretty unknown. i can't see anyone that doesn't like old "screamo" (i tried my best to not use that term) or gravity records to know about them. you had to have heard of heroin and angel hair right?

Mott the Hoople (All the Young Dudes)
Joy Division
The Modern Lovers (once again)
Velvet Underground (once again and forever)

I don't have to write an essay, k-crack. And you calling me a hipster (sorry, "hip-ass" ?!?!?!) is like RuPaul calling someone a tranvestite.

I don't like things just because they're obscure; I don't dislike things just because they're popular. I like things that are good. I dislike things that are bad. I don't judge anyone based upon their taste in music. Etc.
