some quick thoughts about the RUNAWAYS movie

So just saw The Runaways. As far as rock biopics go it’s enjoyable enough. They gloss over a lot of the Runaways history and mostly focus on Cherie Currie’s family life and Joan Jett’s sexuality. The rest of the band are an afterthought. Dakota and Kristen give pretty solid performances. The soundtrack is awesome with lots of 70s glam, The Stooges, and some early punk. The movie looks fucking awesome and reminded me a lot of Boogie Nights in the way it was shot. The best thing about the film is the dude who plays Kim Fowley in all his insane scumbaggish glory. I would’ve liked for them to actually focus more about the band and acknowledge their influence on the LA punk scene but that’s probably cuz I just read We Got the Neutron Bomb. Anyways it’s worth watching and if you are a dirty old man like me it’s full of eye candy.

Kate Bush = Mega Crush

Keep Running Up That Hill, Damnit!

Bangles doing Big Star

the first time i ever heard "September Gurls" (aka one of my favorite songs ever that misspells the word girl) was when the Bangles did a cover version of it when i was a kid. and now i share that version with you.


i still would totally do it with Susanna Hoffs.

my crush on Yelle is pretty much out of control

SO IN LOVE

Yelle, will you marry me?

i'm spending the better part of the day indulging in one of my guilty pleasures...Yelle. she's the perfect combination of many things that hold a soft spot in my heart...French girls, weirdo fashion, and electro pop that sounds like Tom Tom Club. be still my beating heart. my crush on Katy Perry (who was really just fake Zoe Deschanel) is now officially over.

this is the video for Yelle's newest single "ce jeu".

seriously i've watched this like 20 times today.

this video is slightly more boner inducing...mostly for the inclusion of American Apparel booty shorts.

i think i'm in love.
