The Best Ever

If we're going to be friends, it's important for you to acknowledge that the Raveonettes are basically the best band ever. I've been pretty psyched on them ever since my darling introduced me to their first album years back.

Things seem to be doing very well for them over the last few years. Sharin Foo even had a baby! (Congrats!)

The Raveonettes are the true essence of cool. If cool were a virtue, (though some may argue that it already is) then Plato would have agreed with my assessment.

The only thing is, I'm pretty selfish when it comes to things that I think are cool. Its wonderful and great and fantastic for them to be growing exponentially in popularity. It also possibly means that people are coming back to life and a new era of music and possibly a new, less annoying, less superficial subculture is dawning. (That would be such a relief!) However... they were mine first!! Dammit! I know you all know what I'm talking about. Like when you wear a cool new style and your best enemy copies you and gets credit for it. Who was there when TT's in Central Square could fit the Boston area fans in there? ME! (and my boyfriend)
I know, I know. Why can't I just support their success? Because I'm jealous and hanging onto anything that credits me as unique. I admit it.

Anyway, Elle magazine's blog has a pretty good interview from them here.
