honestly a twatch would probably chafe

idk i was soured on them when they got all pissy at james murphy who is cool as heck:

quote:

After Death From Above Records (aka the DFA), approached the band to change its name, the duo responded by tacking on the legal minimum of numbers to their moniker and posting to their former web site: "gently caress DFA RECORDS gently caress JAMES MURPHY WE DECLARE JIHAD ON THEM HOLY WAR ENDING IN THIER DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT... james murphy is a selfish piece of gently caress that will burn in the flames of a specially dedicated rock and roll jihad. if i had the resources i would fly a plane into his skull."

Murphy explained his side of the story in a 2005 interview with Pitchfork Media:

We knew about them for a long time, the name thing wasn't a big deal. It wasn't until they signed to a major label, which wouldn't release the record until we signed off on the name. That's how this all came about.... [Parent company of Death From Above 1979's label, Vice] Atlantic's not gonna release a record by a band with the same name as another entity in music.

they need to take themselves way less seriously

shes married to Sebastian. yeah I can see how they give off a sleezy vibe but he's a super cool and really down to earth dude. he's (understandably) really into music so that's what he talks about a lot but he has lots of cool industry stories and points out all sorts of little details in songs that most people probably miss. anyway in person they really really nice and not sleezy or creepy at all.

i think it's a case of "well that's what sells" but I don't really know. that said I think their new album is moving away from that kind of stuff.
