...Somewhat of a cross between the Smashing Pumpkins and the Goo Goo Dolls, Swimmer's style is a mix of rough-edged rock and grating vocals. Named after the Burt Lancaster movie "The Swimmer," Swimmer produces lyrics that aren't especially interesting--your regular blend of hostility, angst, and stale emotion--but they do work for the group's rock and punk tendencies with a slight alternative twist.

...Come on, Jane, celebrity poetry is worse than a fluffer-nutter sandwich on stale matzoh. "I played it like I wanted it/moaning and screaming" is worth the paper it's printed on just because it was written by Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott? And shouldn't the article "Cameron Diaz Hates Everyone" have been titled "Everyone Hates Cameron Diaz?" She's quoted as saying, "I don't believe in technology. I don't believe it has helped anything." Well said, Cam! Why are these people interesting? Your personal love letter to Uma Thurman? I mean, I'm sure whatever species...
