So I was enjoying my daily 45 minute smog-slog of a commute home the other day, desperately trying to find something worth listening to on the commercial inundated, mediocrity laden vehicle for corporate payola known as regular radio since the crapping out of my second Sirius radio in three years last week, when I happened upon a certain new song that, at first, sounded like a cover of an old song I like, only I couldn't put my finger on which one. Before long, I realized it wasn't a cover, but a rip-off, only I still couldn't identify the victim. Until today.
The perpetrator: The Bravery, with "Believe"
The victims: The Meat Puppets "Plateau"
The evidence: The Cowards shitty new song (and yes, I'm only referring to the verses):
