People Like That Are the Only People Here
The inbox is not taking no for an answer today! Nope, nuh-uh, nyet.
++Might have made this reference once before but lately I've noticed a
trend on the internet of labeling girls with a certain look to be "Vargas Girls",
shorthand for unorthodox or old-fashioned looking. April Smith is what I'd
imagine a Vargas girl to sound like. Not only does April Smith seem to
come from a different time but wow can she hit a high note. It's rare that you hear a female hold a note prettily anymore, like a confident
songbird. She'll be
touring with her band the Great Picture show all up and down the
Eastern seaboard; dates after the cut.

++This song, by Flugente (aka The Blam's former frontman Jerry Adler) will inevitably draw comparisons to Simon and Garfunkel's Homeward Bound, but seriously, who genuinely earns that comparison? His sophomore album Flugente 2, out now, is modeled on American classics and includes a cover of the The Kinks' Apeman. Gorgeous:

Jack Antonoff, lead singer of Steel Train says: "This new album is a return to where we come from. We grew up playing legion halls and firehouses and the sound systems were always so bad we had
to go ape shit to put on a real show, and somehow that inspired the music
and lyrics to reflect all that madness." Sure, there's a lot of crazy Honus Honus hocus pocus happening here, but if you listen a couple of times you hear the master plan underneath it all (with a few foundation issues) along with some sneaky Heartbreaker-ish licks.
