 mi6-
Lunchbox (Kung Fu
Records) A few years ago I saw a show about the inner workings of the
brain. The show concentrated specifically on how the hypothalamus can be
manipulated in a certain way to produce outright rage. A small metal hat
was strapped to a docile looking cat’s head, kind of making the cat look
like a little feline tin man. The hat was hooked up to some machinery
designed to stimulate the hypothalamus, and when they turned it on, the
cat started hissing and tried to tear the shit out of another cat that was
caged nearby. As soon as they shut the machine off, it settled right down.
Can you guess where I’m going with this? To say that my hypothalamus was
stimulated after listening to mi6 would be an understatement. This band is
an ABSOLUTE carbon copy of Blink 182- same vocals, song structure and
lyrical content. They even followed the asinine trend of sticking a random
number into their band name. I don’t think I’ve ever heard one band
clone another so closely. Maybe I wouldn’t mind so much if I actually
liked Blink 182, but, unhappily, I don’t. One Blink 182 is more than
enough. The saddest thing about this whole sorry mess is that the guys in
mi6 definitely have some talent. If these native Kansans took it to its
natural progression instead of aping a bunch of overly hyped sumbitches
from the West Coast, I think they could really come up with something
cool. –Ben Hunter
