If interested, read this excellent take down of Mr. Sommer from Gerard Cosloy:

Reminds me of people who bang on about Green Day and Rancid being sell outs.
Listen to it or don't.

Like I said before, I frequently disagree with his columns, but Tim is far from an idiot. Just sayin'.

Listen, young white people of a certain very narrow part of the incomprehensibly vast and various borough of Brooklyn! Wearing a flannel shirt does not make you a lumberjack. Wearing a bushy beard does not make you Herman Melville. Mixing water and vinegar and maple syrup and ginger and drinking it out of a cutesy anachronistic glass vessel does not make you a rustic 18th-century Vermont farmer. Playing dress-up is fun; people like to do it, and that's mostly OK. But, the cultures of other places and times and ways of life do not reside in their ginger drinks and shirts and facial hair; when you port these things to Brooklyn, you are not revitalizing a culture—you are just cosplaying.

I'm sure most ppl I don't like are probably fine folks(except Bono) but I go by what I read.

They were part of his label, Matador or friends like Sonic Youth. I thought it was hilarious then & still do. Tim is a really great writer in Big Takeover columns if you ever get the chance to read them. I remember there was a scathing letter from a reader about me getting bald, snorting coke and selling out to a major label in Conflict that puzzled me. Then, at the end of it, was Gerard explaining that it was a hate letter towards Tommy Keene he found but just changed the name to "John Stabb". That was pretty clever, I thought.
