well, actually, i think the "mixups" were legal. the dust bros. got an
injunction against the chems and made them change their name. the dust
bros. are still pissed evidently, as evinced by the spate of interviews
after beck's "odelay" came out (which they produced) claiming that the
chems weren't holding to the court's order to stay away from ANY
reference to "dust." the dust bros are quite convinced, however, that
they will definitely outlast the chems. interestingly, both pairs dj'd
hip hop shows in college, and followed similar paths afterwards...c
