Such a great intro, fantastic twee pop. The video isn't by the band (and truthfully, it creeps me out) but the song is such a bouncy blast of fun.

Flight of the Conchords - Sugar Lumps (NSFW)

I have a confession: I've never seen an episode of FOTC, because I don't have HBO. But I always check out their songs on YouTube, and I have the season one soundtrack.

I think they are hilarious!

The Get Up Kids - I'm a Loner, Dottie, A Rebel

This is such a guilty pleasure for me. Grown-up Bella knows that it is a corny pop song, but the adolescent Bella dances every time. Also, I am a loner, and something of a rebel. And a Pee Wee fan.

The Clash - Train in Vain

Sigh. Joe Strummer was so sexy.

Janelle Monae - Many Moons

Yeah! She's got style and pipes.

Cap'n Jazz - Take On Me

So bad it's good.

Sunny Day Real Estate - Seven

My 90s nostalgiafest continues. I used to have a roommate named Karinsa, and she confessed that for years, she thought they were singing "You taste it! You taste it, Karinsa!" Also, William had a crush on my friend M. and I was always jealous because I had no drummers lusting after me.

I'd never seen the video until today, actually. It's very A-ha.

Black Kids - "Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)"

I think I've listened to this song 5 or 6 times today.
