the text in question is found on a round sticker stuck on the shrinkwrap of
the astralwerks release.

i think you have to realize that this sticker was undoubtedly cooked up by
astralwerks publicity department and probably does NOT reflect FSOL's
intentions or conception of their music at all.

i think you should read the recent Mixmag interview with FSOL. they say
repeatedly that Virgin has been very good to them and is quite interested in
helping them bring off their ideas in the best way possible. all this fuss
over a sticker that the band probably never saw or approved is ridiculous.

ahem. well, you all can construct suitably acidic replies to this in your
