I've just been giving them a listen finally... I'm liking it a lot. :)

Also at Lollapalooza they were really good live.

I've also heard them compared to Franz Ferdinand... which I can *sorta* see, but I think these guys have a much more substance and variety. :p

Do you guys agree or will this just another guilty pleasure after a week?

i've never listened to them, but people whose musical opinions i respect said they're not that great...and they probably aren't.

I just find that so fucking hard to believe. Then again the only true "RAP" show I've ever been at was Cypress Hill. I just can't imagine what the crowd is like at a Bone show.

tripping daisy were capable of greatness. see 'jesus hits like the atom bomb'. reminds me a lot of pre-zaireeka flaming lips.

hehe. yeah. it's always like "hey koster, what are you doing down here."

"oh, i came down with LD to see Something Corporate and RX Bandits at the Metro."
