this song is pretty great. more and more, i'm starting to warm up to power pop lately.

also the first girl i ever kissed had the same haircut as the girl in this video, only a bit shorter. kinda the girl equivalent of the early nineties butt-cut. i remember thinking it was pretty vanguard that she had short hair. times have changed.

oh, and the bass player looks like andy samberg mixed with art garfunkel.

i feel like i've seen that garfunkle guy in la. and new york too many times to even count. is someone i know friends with him?

his name is keith gendel and he is the brother of nyc painter jackie gendel, a friend of erin and i. i never met him but when i first met jackie papas fritas was pretty big and jackie and i started talking about indie rock which devolved into an argument cause i said i no longer liked pavement/wowee zowee sucked/guided by voices are better etc. we eventually mended fences when i moved to nyc she was my friend melissa's roommate and by 2000 nobody was defending pavement anymore. the helioself record by papas fritas is my favorite. jackie is a great painter this is the most recent show i saw of hers.
