Garret, of the <a href="http://www.thisissomewhere.com/2010/05/19/scott-tournet-interview-by-the-roving-festival-writer/">previously published Scott Tournet interview</a>, name-checks Stillwater, Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Bros in his review of "Grace Potter and the Nocturnals" - (and not in a good way).

I'm not sure how to rank this one - I guess he gives it a "0"? I've got no problems with Garret's musical opinions - he owns them clearly. It does seem disingenuous to close the review with this though,

<blockquote>In the words of Jeff Bebe of Stillwater, "And let me say what nobody else wants to say: your looks have become a problem!"</blockquote>

For me, the music is the music and the look is the look. It's clear the band? Grace? the string pulling puppeteers? wanted the look to change and become more of a SHOW. I'm not sure how that is specifically connected to the music but I'm guessing that Garret thinks it's ALL a cynical put on in order to make money.
