As consistently homogenized and bland as much of that duo's body of work may be ("Private eyes / are watching you" indeed), its song "Rich Girl" is easily more memorable and instantly appealing, to say nothing of successful, than anything its city's indie scene has ever produced, and likely ever will. If so much as a single of those groups were capable of a song as succinct and viciously catchy as that one, perhaps dancing wouldn't be so frowned upon. Kindly, -- From: Jason Baron This is the big lie: Job, rent, car payments, landlord, unfulfilled,insignificant, underpaid, underappreciated, misanthropy, longing, fakesmiles, mortgage rates, fixed vs. variable, reproduction, repeat, grimprospect of the next 32 years = freedom. The way: piloting my BMX w/ rear pegs down a steep hill on St. Leonard's Rd. roaring wind inches from the curb on one side, traffic on the other, after climbing trees in the woods/skipping rocks on the Neshaminy river all seemingly miles from anyone or anything telling me to do my homework clean my room making it home in time for always pasta on Sunday.
