"<< Tim Kinsella >>
the most brilliant person in music.  no joke."


This really is a lovely opinion, if a grandiose and
misinformed one.  And that would be my opinion.


And I really don't understand why everyone compares At
the Drive In to Rage Against the Machine.  Honestly,
where are the similarities?  Lead singer is latino.  
Great, so that means Caetano Veloso and Cafe Tacuba
are both RATM mock-ups as well?  When I first heard
"Relationship of Command," I couldn't help but think
of Fugazi.  In case you're not aware of this, RATM
incorporates elements of hip-hop and riff-rock to
create a sound some would call unique.  I hear nothing
funky in ATDI, and for that matter, nothing terribly
groundbreaking either.  That's not to say that I don't
like them, as I think their new one is a great rock
album, but how can people align them with RATM?  Can
someone please expound on this fabled theory for me,
please?


Back to hibernation,
