A nice write-up on the Dismemberment Plan’s final days. The D-Plan-as-the-Police, Travis-Morrison-as-Sting metaphor is a nice change of pace from the standard band metaphor, D-Plan-as-Talking-Heads, Travis-Morrison-as-David-Byrne.
Travis also has a great essay up on his web site (which really needs to start archiving past entries so they don’t get lost every time he updates). This week’s topic: why girls shouldn’t be punk. (Here’s a link to the Jessica Hopper/Punk Planet piece he references.)
