Hang on a second while we hoist up our britches and casually point out that the Village Voice just wrote about the first best piece of music writing in 2009, and why, look at that, we published it. Specifically, it's Sam McPheeters's "The Troublemaker," a pensive journey through 26's many days of shit-stirring—he's the fist-shaker formerly known as Doc Dart, frontman of Crucifucks. It makes 8,000 words look like a jolly frolic through a meadow. So thanks for noticing. And while we're casually pointing things out, let's take note of the startling similarities between "She Bangs the Drums" by the Stone Roses, 1989 (Exhibit A in the sound clip you'll hear within two clicks—keep going) and "Go Bankrupt & Die" by the Crucifucks, 1985 or something that was certainly earlier than 1989 (Exhibit B). Have a little listen and see if you don't agree.
FYI.
