I'm in love with that one girl in the indie rock band.

So it's no secret to anyone that knows me that I'm a sucker for bands that have hot girls in them. In fact, I'm also a sucker for clubs, offices, or grocery stores that have moderately not-ugly girls in them. And everyone should also know that my penchant for chick bands has led me to many wonderful different sounds, including Metric, The Yeahs Yeahs Yeahs, and Joanne Newsom. Not to mention my adoration and absolute devotion to M.I.A. ( If you have no or only passing knowledge of any of these groups, seek help immediately. IM me, or if only curious, go here and search for samples. Truly amazing. Email if you need suggestions. "You want opinions? We've got plenty of opinions here." )

And all my lesbian crushing, soft hearted, cigarette smoking, indie rock suckerness has blown me toward maybe one of the coolest groups I've ever seen - Tegan and Sara. ( Anti-climax! I know they've been around forever and I'm an idiot, but how's a straight guy from Missouri supposed to hear these things without help from cool Riverwest kids in Milwaukee or friend of a twin of an exgirlfriend to point them out to me? It just takes longer!) Seriously, these two identical Canadian twins form the most amazing folk and rock melodies that I have ever heard. And yes, I'd have to place some of their songs under my "Don't-Listen-To-Unless-No-One- Else-Is-Around-Because-This-Sounds-Like- Your-Girlfriends-Music file." (fyi That's inbetween my "DanceDanceRevolution eXtreme" and "DMX" music files. ) But for the most part, their songs are really intricate, complex, folky, indie rock songs that I'm really glad to have found.

And to bring this crush into full blown stalking, I just read perhaps the funniest revue of a Tegan and Sara show from Australia. It's on a fan blog, here.

I left in a vacuum where all I could picture was my life being completed in holy matrimony with one of these girls, the only dilemma being that the chances of this happening are non existent and I can't decide who was the coolest out of the two.

This drunk guy is me! Only Australian!

Love,
Junk


ps Other cool bands equals them, these guys, him, her, and that one girl I'm in love with.
