the heat up

hopefully my lil sis was one of the last casualties in the sickness craze of early '08 because it was a life wrecker for some. for her, it meant sleeping upright to breathe and missing one of her favorite bands, the raveonettes. so here you go minders...




they are a man/woman two piece, worldly popular so i'm sure this is common knowledge. hurst called me sexist scum for favoring her to him in a ratio of about 10:1 in photos. can you blame me? only this woman could pull off an ensemble that looks like it was time capsuled in '84 from a church bingo basement. (side note: a glance at any tween begging to be glanced at has me asking...anyone feel that xmas sweaters will be ironically fashionable in the near future? the third drawn down in my mom's dresser and my ebay gains are high-fiving each other yesssssss they hope so.)

i always thought this band was pretty easy to listen to but they never really broke into me. new record and a meeting in the flesh and i was levitating during the set. flawless, seamless, equal parts shake-up and soothe. just wish min would've been there b/c her car ride shoulder shimmy to "love in a trashcan" is stained into my memory.
