I was in high school and At The Drive-In\u2019s magnum opus <em>Relationship of Command<\/em> had just rewired my brain about what music could be. It sent me on a search for that same frenetic energy and there simply wasn\u2019t else anything like it in rock music. Then I saw the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lVehcuJXe6I&amp;list=RDlVehcuJXe6I&amp;start_radio=1\"> fever dream of a music video for Outkast\u2019s <em>B.O.B.<\/em><\/a> (Followed shortly by songs like <em>Gasoline Dreams<\/em> and <em>Humble Mumble<\/em> fulfilling the energetic promise made by the technicolor video). The rest, as they say, is history, and my musical taste has only grown more deranged. 2000 was a good year for weirdos.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been 25 years since <em>Stankonia<\/em> was released, half introducing the mainstream world to the lushness of the Atlanta music scene and half redefining it.
