THIS THINGS WE BELIEVE

That it's fun to say "Duby".

That Echo and Bunnymen aren't "indie-rockers" (even if they're on an indie label).

That we don't need instructions to rock like ladies.

That it'd be funnier if Jim Bob Cooter played for Yale.

That there's just so much here you'll have to make the jokes yourself.

That if there was a single word that meant "the opposite of funny," we'd use it to describe the Nacho Libre trailer.

That when somebody says a record's likely to appeal to fans of Prefab Sprout, it's almost guaranteed it won't. Even if it includes an actual Prefab Sprout cover. (This does not apply, however, to the great Louis Phillippe.)

That the nicest thing we can say about Black 47's anti-war song is that it sucks less than the war.

That you'd think cats who look like Hitler would get old, but they don't.

They really, really don't.
