Yeah, but when is Butter 08 going to reunite, huh?
So, I'm reading the comments on AVClub and they're going off on a tangent about amusingly inappropriate songs for strippers (like, "Detachable Penis) and I thought: "You know what would be perfectly inappropriate for a lapdance? Belle and Sebastian."
Now I'm imagining a strip club and the dancer coming out in a black leotard and doing a very interpretive dance to "Stars of Track and Field" including lots of track and field mime, especially those little hops the javelin throwers give after they've launched their spear.
I really want to see that in a movie, now.
Starring Zooey Deschanel.
Zooey could totally make that work. Though originally I was thinking more of Judy Greer.
Oooh, totes bitchin' Mojo Jojo guitar.
Relatedly and just because: Mojo Jojo vs. Spider-Man.
Really great interview with Allan Arkush, the director of Rock 'n' Roll High School. I'm posting here & not Movies, because it's mostly about Joey Ramone. [link]
Following up on Katherine Whalen, here's a new video from her. [link] (full disclosure: the drummer is my friend's bf)
She's got a Kickstarter project up to help get her record out, if you're interested. [link] It closes May 24th.
It's Pete Townshend's birthday so I wrote about him for Hilobrow.
It would've been Joey Ramone's 60th birthday today.
A good day for musicians.
But not as good as September 23rd!
