I thought Feist had been working with BSS all along, since Feel good lost. She's hot alright, but the band doesn't look like it would do that to enhance their performance, they're supposed to be godlike live already (with or without Feist, Haines, Millan whatever (although they do add to the show))

This statement bewilders me. They were popularized by the blogosphere. They're like the college radio band of '05-'06. Are there other bands that you do listen to only to be indie? Who?
As a result of this thread I actually put of the album- I haven't heard it in nine months at least. It already seems dated to me...is that weird? It isn't bad though. I think it sounds like David Byrne trying to play My Bloody Valentine Covers while doped up on cold medicine.
Skittish:
And how you think they sound like Joy Division is baffling.

Yes, but so have Milan and Haines. I am a total Arts & Crafts whore. It started with Drew & Canning, but then they grew around/after feel good lost. They're all just kind of an autonomous, amorphous, amorous blob anyhow.
Point of interest: Drew, Milan, and Haines all went to university together, which could be how they all ended up in so many collaborations.

Yes! yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes! YES! YES! YES!!!
P.S. Tommy was tongue in cheek about hiring singers. Amy Milan, though I love her voice, doesn't really have much stage presence at all (I think Emily stole it all, because she's got excess). If he wasn't being flip about that, I don't want to know, because insinuating two of my favorite bands are nothing but they're female vocalists will lead to swift destruction at the hands of my idle impotent indie rage!

They're a good live band but they're either fantastic or horrendous. When I saw them they were pretty damn good.
