LAME

I received this link today from a dear dear friend. Contained is a podcast from ABC news wherein Charles Gibson hosts "New Music Monday" - a weekly podcast review of upcoming music releases. This being the very first podcast, they granted Ryan Shriber, founder of Pitchfork.com, the privilege of highlighting the top 5 indie albums to look forward to in this year of 2 thousand and 9.

FUCK

In all sincerity, congratulations to all of the artists recognized: Animal Collective, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Antony and the Johnsons, Wavves, and Bon Iver.

In all cynicism... WTF

THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART new video

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart: "Everything With You"
[Slumberland; 2009]

New T.P.O.B... video on Pitchfork.tv. Welcome to the digital age, Pitchfork. Say hi.

I don't care for this video much. There is this underlying sexual tension throughout the whole bit // Like, just get drunk and experiment already. You girls then can just peacefully go on pretending you aren't sexually attracted to boobs and box the rest of your lives but whole-heartedly punctuate the World's 2nd favorite phrase: "Been there... done that." (1st one being, "I told you so")

The only reason I'm posting it is because 1) that one girl, not the asian one, looks like the lovelyChristin Turner; 2) parts look like they're in Astoria, Queens -- which pretty much would rule; 3) as a whole it conceptually reminds me of the Marine Girl's "A Place in the Sun" video.

Stevie Wonder found his 'place in the sun', spent too much time there and went blind.
