Reviews
Everything the Walkmen write is hilarious - whether that was the intention, I can't be sure. Luckily for me they've begun to review restaurants (anyone remember their old site, with the movie reviews and recipes and stuff? that was funny), and it looks like they've put considerable time and effort into the endeavor. A great holdover until their novel, John's Journey, hits the shelves.
An excerpt from the Yukon Steak House, Newport News, VA review:
They brought Pete the same surf and turf that Paul had suffered through and Walt had rejected but, oddly, Pete liked it. It made everyone wonder if Pete was a slob who would eat anything slung onto his plate or if Paul and (especially) Walt were a little bit precious and spoiled—or were both true? The questions remain unanswered, but what is known for sure is that the Yukon Steakhouse in Newport News, Virginia is an overpriced shit hole.
Food - disgusting
Service - good, except when the waiter referenced his own body in his description of prime rib. And the host seemed like a real prick.
Atmosphere - cheesy (sleds and antlers on walls)
Prices - expensive (about 16 bucks for the disgusting surf and turf)
Location - good, visible from road.
Overall Rating-D
Brilliant. As if that's not enough, the Walkies' Pussy Cats... starring the Walkmen is less than a month away. And if you get the compact disc version:
...the cd version will include a movie/art piece called In Loving Recollection, which includes an introduction to the original record, a documentary of the making of our version, and a brief history of the 20th century.
I'm speechless. Enjoy.
