Contrary to popular belief, this group, headed by the brothers McAloon, did not pick up their moniker from a vegetarian dish at a SoHo restaurant--but they might as well have. Soft-pop is a term too readily used by critics: lately, it serves to describe everyone from Huey Lewis to X. Instead, let's call this musical melange soft-porn: it is that foul...
