Man I would KILL to see Reuben get back together. Just the best band. Taken in the context of the band’s dissolution, “Return of the Jedi” becomes even more touching than before. So many great bands breaking up in the last few years that are just on the cusp of success, whether in terms of popularity, financial stability, or artistic achievement. Blakfish, Kidd Blunt, Reuben… Y’all be heartbreakers.

Guitarist and songwriter
That’s what they thought I was
I never had no dreams of being a waiter
But these here Helmet rip-offs
They don’t buy my lunch
So I will get a real job in the office
And I won’t bother to make my music
And I won’t bother to sing my songs
I won’t bother to get excited
And I won’t bother to get her off.
