So, my plan for this evening was to review the new “effort” from Scarlett Johansson, Anywhere I Lay My Head, I’ll Still be a Hot Young Celebrity With a Hall of Fame Rack and Will be Able to Release Bullshit Vanity Projects with my Hip Indie Pals That Have the Real Talent and Can Keep My Voice Low in the Mix So No One Can Tell That I’m Totally Sleepwalking Through This, but then Borch went ahead and busted out ??????an incredible review?????? that easily blew away whatever the hell misogynistic half-assed crap i was gonna write about trying to go easy on her so that when i’m a famous rock star and my people arrange a meeting with her through her people, she’ll still wanna fuck me. So, whatever. You win this round, Borch, you son of a bitch.
So let’s move beyond the celebrity foolishness and instead, talk about one of the most kickass records i’ve heard so far in 2008–one not enough people are talking about because this band A) does not feature a quirky indie actress; B) is not from New York City (because as long as you’re from New York and have some moderate buzz, the music press will gladly give you road head in your tour van, no matter how mediocre you actually are *cough*Vampire Weekend*cough*); and C) does not have a banjo. Hell, these guys aren’t even cool enough to be from a trendy town in their native United Kingdom–they’re from fucking Wales. ??????Yup. So why talk about some silly actress’ vanity album when we could be discussing Future of the Left?

Aw, I like Vampire Weekend. They’re not TEH BEST BAND EVARRRR, but they don’t do a half-bad mid-period Talking Heads impression.
They’d probably be easier to like without all the fawning praise from elsewhere.
