 And we all know I'm far more intelligent than that farmer's boy. [/b]

I meant band members....... But with your superior education and intellect, you knew that, right?

Rolling Eyes Dude, I am.  You don't hear those bands in their songs?  In "Jenny," "In the Walls" and "My Coco" -- it's all there....
 
 And, as always, the NYC show is sold out.

The Walkmen (3 stars)
 Bows and Arrows
 The Walkmen (with three members of former Dreamworks' flame-out Jonathan Fire*Eater) like to take epic moments and spiral them into even more epic moments. Their new record, Bows and Arrow, is atmospheric, almost orchestral art rock made by prep-school grads who wear sweater vests. But these are prep-school grads who are closer to 28 than 18, and who seem willing to take off those sweater vests and clock you in the mouth if you stare at them cross-eyed.

You are more likely to be well educated and therefore intelligent if your parents are wealthy. But you know that, right? The same way you are more likely to live longer and not be given a death sentence if you are wealthy.

all you have proven is that people who went to prep schools or art schools like to use an * in their name

I wasn't attempting to prove anything. I was only giving an example of an indie band who I've read about recently who went to a prep school.
 
    Though I have read on occasion of indie bands who started at prep schools or chi-chi art schools, I can't remember a one who got their start at a humble public institution of learning.
 
    But there's too much other good music to fucus all of my music loving energies on indie rock, so maybe there are some out there...

i was joking, perhaps I should use more of these

Yes, I sort of figured that after I typed and sent that post...
 
 I guess it takes awhile for slow public school types like me to figure things like that out.          [/b][/quote]

Regardless of where the players in Stellastar* went to school, I'd have to give them a thumbs down. If vocals are going to be bad, there's got to be something redeeming...in this case, there's not.

[markie]

I like the vocals.

NOPE.
 
 I didnt even express my concerns about them sounding too derivitive. Or that their * is uselessly pretentious.
 
 I guess I get to keep my powder dry.
 
 I repeat, does anyone have any questions for Stellastarr*?

What was art school like?  And did any of them go to prep school?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

How long is their longest pubic/asscrack hair?
 
 Are they familiar with the term "turd burglar"?
 
 Why would "power pop" be lumped in with "alt-country" and "Americana"?
