I've always loved Rasputina. Have you listened to their song "Rats?" "Rats" concerns an actual historical event, whereby "capybara," being swimming mammals and much more delicious, apparently, than fish, were declared by the pope to be fish for dietary/ritual purposes. I have given up religion, though I have not yet given up fish. (I've never eaten a capybara.) At any rate, it's a great song!

Hey, Hilary, thanks for stopping by. So far as I know I've not listened to them before today. I did recently read a thing about the capybara incident, which lowered my already low opinion of popes as a class. Serendipitous.
