	Like similarly inspired indie-rocker Jon Spencer, The Make Up mine black music for ideas in a suspiciously condescending way. They don�t have anything of their own to bring to the party, I guess. �White Belts� is another third-generation blues rave-up that smacks of undergraduate pretension. If you can�t be bothered to dig up James Cotton or Roy Brown records (or even James Brown records, for Chrissakes) have at it; otherwise steer clear.

The music here isn't bad but due to Ian's vocals, i'm glad this is a short song. Definately a band better to see live than to listen to at home.
