When you meet somebody based solely on a shared love of the single greatest basketball team the world has ever known, thats not an immediate indication that youll see eye to eye on music. And when you meet that person and they hand you a demo based on that shared love for those heroes of the hardwood, your first instinct is not to ruin a potential friendship with your rather fascist critical instincts. But if the aforementioned sports franchise just happens to sign Rasheed Wallace to create a team with Voltron-like potential to destroy those gawddamn Lakers, well, were going to throw caution to the wind. Which was a good call, because Max & the Wild Things breezy Jonathan Richman-with-a-banjo approach to rock is totally part of our game.
