bedroom walls

I think I'm going to be listening to these guys a lot this summer. As long as it gets me out of the house and away from the sleeping pills, we'll all be better off for it.

bedroom walls: "WHAT IS ROMANTICORE?
Romanticore is the term we coined to describe the kind of music we make. Some elements include: staring at the ceiling; the Santa Ana winds; guilty flashbacks; sedatives; stale cake for breakfast (and lunch); dancing alone in your bedroom to 'Love Plus One'; minimalist posturing undercut by epic gestures; knowing your ex-girlfriend is happier now; sighing too loudly and too often; thinking VELVET GOLDMINE was brilliant despite your better judgement; existentialism (ages 17-22); losing touch with your family; drinking peppermint schnapps because it's all that's left in the house; dandyism (ages 27-33); first kisses; the last paragraph of THE GREAT GATSBY; succumbing to bad habits; losing friends; finding old love letters in a book you borrowed from your new boyfriend; last kisses; Momus' cover of Jacques Brel's 'Ne Me Quitte Pas';getting too old to wear your platform shoes; sleeping far too much; the 'Oh no, love - you're not alone!' part of 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide'; driving around in circles; trying to cry/trying not to cry; etcetera ad infinitum..."
