You know, its a little bizarre to see the Coup complaining about pro-war
rhetoric after titling their first album "Kill My Landlord."

"Genocide and Juice" is one of my favorite albums and I used to just listen
to it over and over ("Repo Man" is hilarious), but songs like "Takin'
These" are just absurd. Like most Communists, Boots doesn't seem to know
the first thing about the things he talks about -- but he's got a lot of
talent which really comes across in the music.

(The thing that's always puzzled me, though, is what was up with "Santa
Rita Weekend"? I just didn't get the Spice-1 connection there (hardly seems
up the Coup's political alley).

Nice piece of reportage, Brian. What's the source of those quotes?

Various magazines such as Spin and Rolling Stone. I was actually gonna put this up a week ago, but I lost the Zip disk the text file was saved on, and during that time I threw out the mags (the anual cleaning of my room).
