Cool. I came across this review of a review when I Googled White Denim. Raoul is the worst reviewer I’ve ever read. As a fan of Austin punk and alternative, I’ve read a bunch of his reviews. His head is “decidedly” up his own ass. The review of the review was wonderful and right on the money. Raoul’s writing always seems like a joke.

Which, somehow, has developed a rock riffage which is, in turn, revolution (NOT revolutionary, you ignorant rats). It also matches acid rock guitar harmonies to a sound a rhythmic espresso (no other) machine makes.

See? What’s tough?

Mr. Hernandez has been torturing me for several years with his reviews. He either doesn’t have a satisfactory grasp of the English language, or he’s the most pretentious pone in the world. I don’t want to be a negative poo head; I understand that the new thing with the blog kids is to not be a “hater.” But this guy is the Music editor for the Austin Chronicle for Christ’s sake. I mean, what’s up with this passage: “The revolution rock riffage of grand funk steam engine “Everybody Somebody” matches acid rock guitar harmonies to espresso machine rhythmic choogle…”

Grant me the serenity, Lord.
