I always wondered why people are so ashamed (not saying you are, just making a general statement) to like the same music as their 14 year old hipster little sister... yet they'll like the same MOVIES, the same actors, the same television shows, and so on.
I've never heard anyone say "Damn, The Simpsons -- that's too hip! Fucking my little Hot Topic brother likes it! Fuck that shit!"
Yet any band that has any hipness attached to it is automatically castrated, in spite of their quality.
Don't get me wrong, most of the hipster bullshit is hipster bullshit. But Vivian Girls are unique in that they write good songs.
Something curious about the new album, dunno if anyone's noticed this or not: But you can actually hear everything they're saying on all the songs, for the first time. Not sure how I feel about that. I don't really pay attention to lyrics, but theirs in particular.. uh.. I'd rather not pay attention to. "La la I love you can't get over you you're so great I'm a lonely girl blah blah." Good thing they have pretty voices.
