The Pierces "Boring" video

The Pierces have uploaded a video for the song "Boring" off their upcoming album that is due to be released in early 2007 according to their MySpace page.

I still think they are obnoxiously beautiful. It just ain't right to be both that gorgeous and be able to write and sing music so well. Damn you, Pierces!

Candypants

My occasional contributor Jenny first introduced me to Candypants on a mix she sent me a few years ago with the song "I Want a Pony". They are a fun band that doesn't take themselves very seriously as far as song content goes, and I appreciate that. This not-so-seriousness continues on one of the latest tracks I've heard by them and is the whole reason for this post.

I've only heard a few other of their songs, but a recent track they've included on their MySpace page has me hooked again. "Nerdy Boys", finally an ode to the boys some of us can't get enough of. The smart boys, the well-behaved boys. Three cheers to Candypants for making me smile hearing this light-hearted tune.
