Heard this in the car yesterday and was reminded how much this song rocks. Good music, never really goes bad. Bad hair however lives with you forever on the internets.
I have a thing against band names that need to be shortened into acronyms or sound like titles of love poems I once wrote back in the 8th grade. Too many memories of fake kissing pillows quite honestly. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart don't sound much older than that but despite the young vocals their songs are quite lovely.

Sometimes it takes a few plays before I really connect with bands and their music. I have a tendency to fall in love with albums long after others have started playing them at housewarming parties and they're on request in jukeboxes around the city.

There's been many albums where I've done this going back as far as Disintegration, a time where I was going through the years of "How the hell did I end up with this family?", to more recent memories of drinking wine and dancing to Hot Fuss with my girlfriends.

I think she's hilarious though I could live without her political jokes as they have a tendency to drone on and on. But I love it when she talks about Asian stereotypes, gay culture and of course her eccentric mother. This clip isn't one of her best but as always a goodie because of the accent:
