pull!
i don't understand lamenting nostalgia while simultaneously embracing nostalgic material like new young pony club. this 5-piece sounds completely studied/check-list 80s. the 4:30 clock on "the get go" (an admittedly excellent song name) reveals idea-lessness. like songs from the 80s that now seem vibrant and fun in memory but turn out to be so long and one-trick (insert joke here) upon reexamination that it's impossible to listen to the whole thing. i considered an instrument-by-instrument breakdown of its 80s-ness, but don't care enough except to say, fuck them.
and fuck the annuals and princess joanna newsom. i do not want to make babies with her and am therefore immune. i have a visceral reaction to her voice as intrigued as i am by the potential in the music. speaking of 2006-fuck yous, we've got a nice one picked out for tv on the radio. boys, you can pick that up on your way to oblivion.
happy holidays, fuckos.
