After a bizarre, costume-heavy, and not particularly funny musical comedy performance by a group known as Pleaseasaur, Pinback took the stage and launched into a set of crisp, dynamic rock. Vocalists Armistead Burwell Smith IV and Rob Crow traded off lead and backup duties throughout the set, producing consistently beautiful harmonies. The band’s specialty is the mid-tempo pop-rock nugget, and they succeed in coming up with songs that are always pleasant, but never quite transcendent.

Dorin...
...This has been a threefold victory for the Mexican government. First, it eliminates the financial concern of how to care for these people. Second, the citizens who would be the angriest about the government's inadequacies keep leaving the country. Those who would vote, protest, stage walkouts, and revolt-instead keep voting with their feet. Which in turn protects The Powers That Be. And third, as a reward for watching entire communities empty out, they receive a huge influx of cash...
