...Fist-pumping boys screamed along as the older break-up anthems came on, but the newer songs are plenty angry, never fear. Pollard's howled rendition of "Break Free," which he wrote for the new album, was particularly frightening. Lou's soulful lyrics and simple beats on "Flame" transform angst into actual anguish, however, and on many of the pieces from the latest album the guitars do most of the screaming. Due in part to Lou's sore throat, this emphasis on dexterous guitar and bass still conveys the raw emotion and intensity of Sebadoh's songs. Slouching on stage...

Instead of bowing before MTV's shiny-suit-ridden, treble-enhanced Jam of the Week, I pit myself against the MC I have yet to meet through lyrics saturated with wordplay and allusions and urban imagery and political consciousness. I pump my fist when a colleague on stage instructs me to, roam sidewalks with a perennially playing walkman, love few things more than a huddle of cats dropping science to beatboxes and split cheap cigars open while listening to my newly-purchased Roots album (by the way, buy it now, it's truly ridiculous...
