Couldn't agree with you more Cliff, but I for one didn't see this as a
parody of LBM - in fact the dog even gave them a certain level of props when
he pointed out that of course it wasn't the real LBM, because they wouldn't
be caught anywhere near him....

Mind you, even though I don't know any one from LBM or even have any sense
of what sort of people they are, I'll bet dollars to donuts, that the group
is very pleased about this having happened. As you have  pointed out, they
are plenty game for whatever exposure they can get for their music, so this
is surely just the latest coup....Anyone close enough to them to try and get
their take on this? It would certainly be an interesting contribution to
this debate.
