Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible.

I felt a little threatened, Sam Crow, frontperson of superlative Orlando garage-punks Spoon Dogs and half of new Orlando band Body Shop, recalls of the first time he saw his future partner and musical collaborator, Kit Dee, on stage fronting Red Rodeo. Our first show together, Spoon Dogs played first. Red Rodeo followed, and I m like, OK, this person is really good, stage presence is really good.
