this is old news but i'm listening to a lot of suede lately
(or the london suede which sounds a bit more sheik if that's possible)
a friend of mine recently made fun of me for how much of a sucker i am for power pop
but if you are similar harken back to the early 90s with me
this and this are fun
i'd say they are SO 90s but rock videos really haven't changed at all since the promos of the 60s
for every 'fell in love with a girl' there are about a thousand bands fakin' the funk in a white room
(ie last strokes video...all strokes videos...the strokes...haha just playin strokes, you know i love you)
what's really unique is the band's dalliance with androgeny!
of course oasis blew up, they did this just less...faggy
i am psyched for darjeeling but also i fear this may be the breaking point at which i finally tire of the quirky-as-fuck world of wes anderson
i was almost groaing watching the trailer
even if i'm disappointed it will likely be in the manner that i think 'walking in your footsteps' is tiresome. that is to say, still totally enjoyable and awesome by any other standard.
(on a mostly unrelated tip i believed i could not hate the outkast movie idlewild but thought that truly sucked...thoughts? or did it just suck?)

sorry i meant to include that one too!
suede is cool. i like that dude's huge earring. i wouldn't call em power pop though. their songs aren't pop-hooky enough. its a terminological point.
re: quirky-as-fuck. everyone seems to be all about the wes backlash right now. i just hope the writing is good.
also, vpiece...i just got all of the new battles record (atlas) and its blowing my little dome.
yeah, turns out i still love wes. there are a couple kind of self-consc moments, but as usual he's more charming than pretentious...to me. also, dmf there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it response to the becker/fagen letter (maybe the root of my trepidation...)
anyway i think it has to be a sly little danski reference...its nice.
re:suede - i was saying power-pop in the NEVERMIND sense as in these are pop songs played at high power. this is a broad and maybe irresponsible definition (love of big star does not necessitate love of nirvana) food for thought perhaps
go see darjeeling
if you've liked wes i can't imagine not getting a nice warm feeling from this
and atlas is the shit
weeeeeeeeoweeeeeeeeoweeeeeeeeeoWEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
