It's fun to compare that book to the movie Backbeat.
Yeah, the graphic novel is more from Astrid's point of view, while the movie is more Stu's.
'Potential'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Random bit o' randomness:
Currently I'm rocking out to Jeffry Lee Pierce's "Get Away."
(Pierce was the lead singer of The Gun Club.)
Just watched the "Nirvana" thing with Sir Paul. I really liked it. Nice to see Grohl on drums again.
ION, I just downloaded In Limbo by TEEN and am listening to it for the first time. I am working, and the album keeps on distracting me over how awesome it is.
eMusic sez:
Kristina “Teeny” Lieberson used to play keyboard for Brooklyn indie rockers Here We Go Magic, and while her own dreamy electro-psych sister act relies on slightly different ingredients, the results can be similarly spellbinding. TEEN’s 2011 digital-only EP Little Doods leaned toward narcotic lo-fi jangle that recalled Mazzy Star. Mixed and produced by Spacemen 3′s Sonic Boom, and engineered by Here We Go Magic’s Jen Turner, full-length debut In Limbo is a brainy, immersive and often-intriguing blend of pulsing krautrock drone and bouncy Phil Spector harmonies. The 11-track set has its share of reverby retro-pop gems, whether confidently thrumming “Better,” lovesick space-prom waltz “Charlie” or insistent, surf-flecked “Electric.” Elsewhere, on tracks like free-flowing synth workout “Unable” or crunching, Beta Band-skewed “Why Why Why,” TEEN sprawls out to suit the youth-appropriate album title. Either way, In Limbo is an alluring, sometimes-enchanting stroll along the blurry line between hooks and incantations.

Sounds kind of like Stereolab?
Sorta'. More drone-y.
Am listening to it again. I'll pick my fave and post to Buffistarawk if you want.

Yes, please.
OK, uploaded to Buffistarawk. Two tracks from TEEN's In Limbo plus an extra added bonus track from US Girls: "North on 45", which is my current obsession song.
Lemme know if they're not there.
Which two TEEN songs did you pick, Tom?
"Better" and "Roses & Wine".
