Critical reception Scott Reid of ''Stylus Magazine'' gave the album a grade of C+, saying: "The real problem with this record, like with Fog (band), Fog's ''Ether Teeth'' and Yoni Wolf, Why?'s ''Oaklandazulasylum'' (both also released this year), is the inability to use the momentum of its several great ideas to produce an effective whole." Dan Lett of ''Pitchfork (website), Pitchfork'' gave the album an 8.3 out of 10, saying: "Unlike many two-man collaborative efforts, ego and testosterone are mostly left out of the equation on ''Hymie's Basement'', replaced by misanthropy and self-deprecation." He added: "Thematically, the record has a unity that suggests a long-term alliance but the vibrant arrangements buzz with the exhilaration of a new relationship."

2003 Debut Albums
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious and cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Fancy Ray McCloney
Fancy Ray McCloney is a stand-up comedian and advertising pitchman from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In 2020, he released the career-retrospective stand-up album ''The Best Lookin' Man in Comedy'' on Stand Up! Records. Writer/producer Diablo Cody, who wrote the liner notes for the alb ...
