I'm Excited About This Band and I Haven't Even Heard Them Yet!
Y'all like irony? My devout Presbyterian grandma gave me a Borders gift card for Christmas, and I used it to purchase The Thermals' The Body The Blood The Machine, an anti-religion punk rock album. I'm also planning to see these guys when they come to the Black Cat in March. Finally, Pitchfork reported in March that The Thermals turned down a $50,000 offer from Hummer to use one of their songs in an SUV commercial. Sticking it to the man is a bit unwise and a lot hypocritical - but, damn, is it not fun to read about?

How exactly is that sticking it to the man?
Um.......good question. In some languages, "sticking it to the man" is synonymous with "making bad financial decisions in the name of self-righteous anti-corporate grandstanding."
Well written article.
