I would probably go with the terminology of cars--whereas most running backs are Ferraris or Porsches, I'm a Ford F-150 pickup. I'm consistent and crank up every time you put the key in.

The lights refract off toothy grins and illuminate a sea of enthusiasts bouncing up and down as the band crank back up to the strains of Ladyflash, the Go! Team's set closer. Earnest and angular rock may be all the rage, but the Go! Team's angst-free confections make you dance and wave your arms. Last year, though, the Go! Team could have played in one of London...
