»(all the barbers were anarchists)

Began reading George Orwell's stirring Homage to Catalonia, while listening to Modest Mouse.
I first heard this band while sitting at the Albion (now the Delirium) with Mark Athitakis on a mid-day bender some years ago. I can't remember why Mark was excited to find them on the juke-box, but I do remember (and have repeatedly proven) that they make great drinking music.
