I just ripped this off from the Drag City Website:

"Warm Voices Rearranged — Anagram Record Reviews will finally be available to all you fact-hungry people out there on October 8th. Hours of laughter await you! Hours of revelation! You’ll see your record collection with new, tear-filled eyes once you read the gospel of anagrams according to Brandan Kearney and Gregg Turkington. Operating on the supposition that any anagram found in an LP title is a comment upon the LP, these guys flash their wizardry as such:

Joy Division Closer
Joyless, ironic void.

Patti Smith Group’s Easter
Rats! It’s poet’s huge armpit!

X See How We Are
We were hoaxes.
