You're Awful, I Love You
Date undefinedi was first introduced to the badn through my local radio station playing the title track "You're Awful, I Love You" and fell in love, I ran to the internet and started looking up everything i could find on the band (since i am not one to buy any album based on one song) I was never disapointed! i quickly bought all 3 available Ludo Albums and have been rockin' out ever since.
It is buttery.

Date undefinedThese guys are geeky with such total abandon, they're cool! C'mon, now, you don't really think they think they are truely cool. These dudes put quite a bit of effort into this act. They parody everything that kitschy bands of this genre embody, and do it well. Did the B-52's mean Real Business, or just poke fun?? Devo? I could go on, but I won't. If you don't get these guys, then the gag escapes you (or you just don't like the tunes. No prob.) But give this tacky group their due, and laugh with them, not at them.

Date undefinedI caught these guys on Leno last night. REALLY? This is what's considered cool now? Truly cringeworthy. Makes me emberassed to be white.
Lets see if I can sum up my thoughts: Self-conscious irony taken to a ridiculous level (and not in a good way). An awkward less intelligent parody of They Might Be Giants. Lots of faux "rocking". Classic scenario: The kid who used to be uncool puts on some ironic Buddy Holly style glasses and suddenly he's not uncool anymore because its a style he's chosen and not something authentic. Give me a break. Its like what happened in the UK artworld when people stopped painting and started nailing toilets to the gallery wall.
Irony is over. Its a cute gimmick, but it doesn't really hold any water or have anything meaningful to say.
