Pawn Shoppe Heart reminds me of the moment near the beginning of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when the movie bursts from sepia tone into glorious color. Sure, Lack of Communication, the Von Bondies’ 2001 debut, had garage-revivalist heart to burn, but it sounded like it was recorded inside a rat’s ass (thank coproducer/ex-pal Jack White for that).

Now, do not read that and think I am somehow suggesting that nothing is new anymore or that everything has already been done or that I am secretly applying for a job at Tracks magazine. There are still new things in this world. But they don't feel new to me. And I am placing much of the blame on R.E.M.
