I'm a cunning sewer.

But can you do cunning stunts?

 

 

No, but I can differentiate them from the other variety of stunts.

Dream Wife are awesome, thanks for sharing.

 

 

Well, obviously.

Took me a sec as I’m on vacation rumming...  Posted them live on KEXP some time back here.  Yummy chow.

After a loooooong weekend of sportsball, let's say yaaaaaaay sportsball! 

 

Feel so emo sry.

 

1982, 13 years old, still sort of imagine I'm that fuckin' Ray-Ban guy getting off with Jennifer Connelly.

 

Right up my alley. Their songs all kinda sound the same but that also means they're all good.

Bassist reminds me of Peter Hook from New Order.

I think visually, they remind me of what Siouxsie and the Banshees might be if they were forming these days....

New Metric.

 

They just get better, don’t they?  Masters of their craft.

Flock of Seagulls—what movie is that from?

Stars — I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t get them.

Pale Waves — dig!

 

My favorite Metric tune...

So over the top, they may have broken out of orbit.

I love that they don't hold back.  The animated band look like caricatures, but then they cut to the live versions and...<insert your favourite clickbait reference here>.  Did you catch all the references?  His watch was the LEDs from the cover of Ghost in the Machine by The Police.  That was a favourite.  And of course the Blade references.

Plus The Lost Boys, which informs it all.

If she just grew a voice and learnt to sing ?

In her defense, she is mixed kind of low in that clip.  But in not in her defense, her style ("indie") has always been kind of talky, but then she brings out the singing in the chorus.  The first album is still my favorite.

 

Like this a lot. Hear bits of Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Andrew Bird, all good!
