This Band Rules

I've been touched by their goodness and it does not feel criminal. I am a fanboy...what can I say.

AtTheMoon, what's your point?

So Kevin Barnes sold his tune to Outback .... yeah, at first it seems like a sellout, but if you think about it, that move gave Barnes and co. the money to go on and create Hissing Fauna. So, I applaud the move.

Go, Of Montreal ... I love your band and thank you for giving me many albums to love.

xoxox,

Stipe

Based on the photo, and what I know of Athens bands (having lived there in the mid-90s), I would suggest that who he's actually channeling is Michael Stipe.

They all want to be Stipe, and they all pretend they don't.

Based on the photo I'd say too much lip gloss

And dream on about being the next Bowie.
