Brian, what part of "new Plaid" or "interesting" didn't make sense to you? And to Alex, I'm not an Ae hater by any stretch (you're all wrong--Garbage rules!), but I already see the press machine for this one coming down the pike and it ain't pretty. Warp-USA's general tactics for p.r.ing their three late-spring gems have many writer/editors all a-twitter...and some of them are tripping over their hyperbolic praise getting on the rah-rah wagon. It's starting to smell kinda Daft... laz "Brian M. Cass" wrote:
