Ick.  I guess I'm more behind on the current alternative scene than I
guessed.  Not being able to pick up any decent college radio stations
will do that to you.

I thought the HORDE tour (as of more than a year ago, I guess) sounded
much more appealing than the (same time period) decaying corporate
sponsored "Lollapaloser" event.
