Meat Puppets Bassist Gets 21 Months

[thirsty moore]

Heya Chaz, I was just pointing out the extremes of the situation.  It always amuses me when I read a band's influences and one of them drops a pretentious reference.
 
 For instance, if that Dashboard Confessional guy was all like, "I'm influenced by Ornette Coleman."  Clearly, no lineage.  Meat Puppets to Nirvana?  Hell, that's almost blood.
 
 Now, I discussed this with Snailhook at the MMR show.  What's up with the Velvet's and Television comparisons to The Strokes?

Not sure what you're driving at here...whatever, 'nuff of a reason for me to hate the band.

As IF they were rock stars.  Blech, hated them ever since.  It's not like they were the Replacements...

You CLEARLY have not heard his first album, even ripped off the album art like Clinic did.

Snotty young punk band with a lower middle class (just a guess) background is always going to hate a bunch of snobby, rich college kids. Classic case of class warfare, as it should be.
