I still say if you like the "garage" thing, don't waste your time on the
Strokes, Hives, Vines, White Stripes, etc. I know some folks like it,
but they do NOTHING for me. Instead, go buy Jet if you haven't already.
These guys are the real deal, and then some....

...it's a lonesome thing to be passing small towns with the
lights shining sideways when the night is down, or going in
strange places with a dog nosing before you and a dog nosing
behind, or drawn to the cities where you'd hear a voice
kissing and talking deep love in every shadow of the ditch,
and you passing on with an empty, hungry stomach failing
from your heart.
