I wish that guy would just speak his mind.

I was left feeling a might uncomfortable for enjoying the performance and having to exclaim the word "badass" after a couple of the new wave numbers despite my feeling that I should know better.

Is this "badass" or "bad cats"??? I think that he does know better and that’s why you just have to yell "badass" after some of the songs that were played that night. Come ‘on I'm sure this burst of emotion felt by the author of that review was after Ages of Ruin and hmmm... New Negatives?

Interesting that Year of the Rabbit gets 1/3 of the article and Ima Robot gets 2/3.

It sounds like his major concern is with the label? I can see this thread appearing next year...turning into the whole The Vines vs. Capitol Records ala the-vines.net and how Hollywood producers killed that talent and sound that is The Vines. However, I think that Ima Robot has a much more solid relationship with their label than The Vines do with Capitol (sorry Craig).

Then again I just ate a bunch of Vicodin and Bextra for this inconceivable back pain...so who knows what I'm typing here.

Good Point Phobiac. I'm sure later on we'll find out that this guy was the manager for Moth.

My take was just that he was a really cynical guy, been associated with industry creeps for too long--and Ima Robot is anything but cynical. Think of it this way, if they were able to do a good show in the eyes of this guy, they'll have no problem with the general population.
