One last gasp and then its back to lurking -- what I said with the K/Up/KRS sound was pretty stupid. I should have been more specific, what I meant to say was that there is a certain same-ness to some of the NW indie rock produced by Calvin Johnson. Up, as we all know, is a sweet label with a huge range of sounds and artists on its roster, and is definitely not tied in to a single sound. So that comment, about the thin sound, was pretty stupid in light of this. Sorry. But that stuff about the record sounding how they wanted is definitely true. Back to my hole...
