I've always thought that they sounded like if the members of Modest Mouse went on tour with Sonic Youth, and one night they all got drunk and stabbed each other to death with crayons, and the combined members of Spoon and The Mountain Goats were the first to find the bodies, wherein they painted a mural on the side of a bus that then ran over Frank Black from the Pixies and Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo. A small child then began to cry at seeing the scene, and began throwing bottle caps, while crying, into a stream. At that same moment, Warren Zevon was having intercourse with the members of Parliment on the other bank of the stream, and they began to chant in Aramaic. Now imagine that, but played through an 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System.
