an example of what i was saying is that, here in mexico, no one knew battles, i would bring them up in conversation and nothing. mirrored got released and still some people were like "yeah, i think i heard about them"; now, once the album has been named by time magazine, pitchfork, the wire, whathaveyou, people in mexico into fads like m.i.a., broken social scene and cold war kids are going "gee, i love battles man!!! they are sooooo cool!!! i wish they came to mexico!!!!" and it's people who can't name a song other than "atlas".
so well, there's a huge poser contigent within their fanbase (of course, not all of them are) and yes, once the fad goes away, battles will prove if they are a good band by releasing good albums to people who like what they do and don't care what's "in" or "cool". i have mirrored on vinyl and i think it was a good investment even if the album is not perfect. |

I had heard of The Battles a while ago but didn't know who they were or no idea who the members were. I'm guilty though I don't hype them up.

I have to admit I didn't know Battles until Mirrored but I bought Mirrored within a week of its release because of the buzz in my town about it, friends and record store clerks recommending it and stuff like that. That probably didn't make me the hippest person to lay down the coin for this obviously, but I wasn't doing it as a poser, only because I wanted to hear some great music. I don't like that many people buy on the "cool" factor either, especially if they never listen to the album. At the same time, if that buzz gets them into a great band, how can that be wrong, really?

Yeah, that isn't good. But I don't think that's what Rachel is doing. Though I suspect she's influenced by her husband's interest in music. But who knows. Better than saying she likes Tom Petty.

Now come on. That is too cute. She is a little strange looking in the chest area. But I think I could overlook that.

One thing is for certain. Given the choice of taking Rachel to dinner or the cool chick in Boris, I'd pick cool chick in Boris in a heartbeat.

Rachel Ray would be sexier if she had a nice voice.

Anyway, could we get back to the topic, which was Battles, right? or Boris?

Rachael Ray promotes mediocrity. she is the celebrity chef equivalent of Salieri.

That seems like the kind of thing that I should find funny. It looks like a funny strip and all. I didn't find it funny, though.
