"Tribute Bands"

One of the New York Times' ideas of the year is Tribute Bands in Denial. While The Raveonettes do sound like the Jesus & Mary Chain, the Interpol-Joy Division comparison [for the millionth time] is valid only in lead vocals. And I think the stellastarr*-Flock of Seagulls comparison is... well, as Jay said, "Maybe the New York Times just doesn't like music?"

Speaking of "immitators", I've been rocking this Franz Ferdiand track, "Darts of Pleasure", over and over again. I can't wait to get the EP. The design is hot.

And from Stereogum, here's the trailer for Spiderman 2. I gasped outloud. Fucking sweet.
