Hummus was introduced to Williamsburg to stop hipsters from taking over the world.

Their last record was really fucking good. Have you people even listened to anything they've done since Source Tags?

...and you will know us by the new breed of trailer trash hipsters that listen to this crap.

worlds apart was actually thier best album. who reads this blog? Idiots!

Posted by Anonymous | January 18, 2011 9:33 AM

The problem with Worlds Apart was that it had some really bad songs. But it did have some great ones as well.

This band no longer gets any love because Pitchfork does not give them high ratings. Most people do not think for themselves, they only like what Pitchfork and/or their friends like.

BTW, their best album was Madonna. :)

Relative Ways is a great song :) good video too, touching. I have it on my Ipod-Video. WOOooo
