Controller Controller - X-Amounts

It’s hard to know when to accuse a band of ripping off some other band. Did The Rapture steal the bass line from “Out Of The Races And On To The Tracksâ€? Yeah, not to my knowledge… Oh wait, that’s just the first three songs. They stop trying to be whatever genre after that. More to the point (ooh track five is all sorta noisy and weird and there aren’t lyrics) this album doesn’t jive with Numbers or AIDS Wolf or whatever else we’ve mentioned recently. But! If you’ve been reading Only and wondering when something a lot more listenable (and by listenable I mean could nestle in to a bridging the gap mix tape right betwen “Detatchable Penis†and “Making Plans For Nigelâ€), and Les Savy Fav is a bit too much for you to handle, then go lean back at this show and don’t go to Deerhoof (track nine is like track five. Skip it if you didn’t like track five).

Dear Dude,
I played some song from these
guys on my show today and it was definately the low point. And considering part of the show was spent finding our elven name on an elf-name-generator at flock-of-faries.com, that does not bode well for these kids and their music.
