I know about the Airborne Toxic Event because of the minor spat caused by a review of them from Pitchfork, which said that they were an embarassingly overwrought combination of current meaningfulcore nindie tropes (LCD, Arcade Fire, Killers, etc.) The band wrote an "open letter" back, which was hailed in blogland as them sticking it to The Man. As a representative of The Man I stayed well away and didn't hear them as they sounded like they'd be unbearable. Having heard this track by them I am pleased to say that The Man in this case was quite right.

Why would you name your band after a fart?
