Line Out - Comments on My Take On Battles http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/07/my_take_on_battles I wasn't planning to recap Battles, but since I was called on it, here ya go. My mind wasn't blown. I'm not saying they aren't good (they are), and I can't say I didn't enjoy their output (I did),...

Now they just a little electronics. shrug.

I saw Battles play with Evaporators and the Icarus Line a few years ago. A friend of mine glared at me and she said "this is soooooo dude rock."

John Stanier is really the only reason to give a shit about this band. They're not even dude rock, they're music critic rock.

Now Melt-Banana the other night.... HOLY SHIT, that was a show!
