If all goes well, you figure correctly.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Have we talked about The Futureheads? Pitchfork described them as Wire meets the Whifflepuffs, which isn't far off - they do stop-start new wavey rock a la Franz Ferdinand (although they do it better, being crunchier and more dynamic) topped off with essentially barbershop vocal harmonies. No, wait, come back! They're bloody good - their cover of Hounds Of Love is genius, and there are half a dozen brilliant songs on the album.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Have we talked about The Futureheads?
I was...underwhelmed. I like the sound in theory, but I actually prefer Franz' poppiness over the rushed crunchieness of Futureheads.
I was intrigued enough to want to give it another listen, and I really did like the Hounds of Love cover, but it's a bad sign that it was the only song that really stuck with me.

Punishingly Intricate
Can I ask what it means for music to be "crunchy"? I see that in music crit a lot and I think I know what it means when I hear it but I'm wondering how you guys would define it.

Can I ask what it means for music to be "crunchy"?
I use it as short hand for a certain harsh/fast guitar sound.
I suppose it's also been used to describe stuff that's folky though (as in, earthy/crunchy or granola crunchy), so I'm not sure there's a consistent definition.

Kate, what is your tagline from? I know I heard/read/saw it just recently.

Steph, it's from a Wonderfalls episode. I'm actually wondering if I should take it down, since I know people were complaining about being spoiled for the unaired eps .

Aha! THAT'S where I heard it!
Also, I'd leave it, because you don't give attribution, and it doesn't spoil anything plotwise, and also, in the past, we've always tagged NAFDA shows the night they aired, as long as the tag wasn't plot- or character-spoily, and I don't see why this is any different.

That was my thinking as well.
