I Got Too Much Soul For You/I Don't Like It But It's True
BEHOLD: "Too Fake" performed live at a SPIN magazine rooftop session by the Portland based band, Hockey.
i like this song. wierd i never heard of them. i'm usually sort of on this shit. they sound like the strokes should have sounded after 'is this it?' but instead they shit the bed with 'room on fire,' and then by the time that 'first impressions of earth' came out, it was too late- the world had sort of lost interest. maybe they were doomed to backlash regardless, though. sort of like diablo cody after 'juno.' everybody fucking loved that movie, loved her, then all of a sudden the world simultaneously decided she was over, that her dialogue was too cute, and that 'juno' was for emo faggots. seriously, though, i can't think of a recent movie i enjoyed more than "jennifer's body." it's one of the only movies that i've watched several times in a short period of time in SEVERAL years. Directed by the asian lesbian lady who directed the Michelle Rodriguez boxing movie, "Girlfight," and the (in my opinion) ill-conceived Aeon Flux which my friend rob liked "Jennifer's Body" is a lot like heathers, but without Christian Slater, and literal demonic man-eating. it has so much super fun dialogue, even if it is super stylized in that pronounced Diablo Cody kind of way. I especially liked the fact that Jennifer (megan fox, who was perfect for this part) was essentially EXACTLY THE SAME after she became demonic as she was before, lulz... Plus, i SO KNOW what it's like to be eternally mocked by a horrible song by an evil band that has TOTALLY ill-begotten success, so it was nice to have my own feelings on the matter reiterated to me by an external source... but that's a different conversation.
oops, tangent. sorry!
but here's hockey. it's a dumb name, but they have the sound right.
