Actually I pretty much agree with him. I saw his ego trip band "Fields of Gaffney" play, opening for the Sun City Girls of all people, and they were the worst cliched indie rock nothing in the world. To make matters worse, Gaffney introduced each and every song with a name drop - "I wrote this one on tour with Mike Watt!", "This song originally came out on cassette!" (yes to prove his lo-fi cred he name dropped "casette"...) Each name drop was given with deliberate emphasis on the last word to explain why this proved how important Gaffney is.
Yes he was in the original Sebadoh, and that was a good thing. That doesn't make everything he does today golden, however.
