meme band. even in their prime times they was outdated rip-off of the smiths and cure for "pro-revolution" teenage punks. completely irrelevant nowadays no matter how you look at it.

but there's something about the sound of kino that keeps attracting people today still, even westerners. i've listened to both the smiths and kino, and somehow kino is the only one of them that i'd listen to at my own initiative
listening to music is not a purely intellectual pursuit
