Curse your little heart! Devotchka : BAND OF THE FORENIGHT

You ever come out of the theatre, after a watching a movie, wishing you were the hero on the story? No. Well, then go pay your bills, you grown up. My friend L. went to see “Little miss sunshine”, a new movie directed by Jonathan Dayton And Valerie Faris, responsible for all those videos that included adolescents on the verge of rawness and the first time we saw Billy Corgan bald. She was so impress with the movie and the soundtrack, the way it’s all interwoven, and how Dayton and Faris capture the essence of American weariness as the only light at the end of the tunnel, that she keeps urging me everyday to go and see it – I will, in three years, when it finally arrives here. Distribution is not so top notch when the product isn’t a blockbuster or an award sweeper.

But just to get a taste of what I’m missing, L. sent me to Devotchka’s MySpace, where I sampled their EP, naughtily but deliciously titled “Curse your little heart”. Then I headed to their homepage, as you should as soon as you hear “how it ends”. If you are not into bleeding hearts anthems, then forget it, check out the video for “Se vale to’” from the act of the summer, Calle 13. Is a nice way to wave goodbye to all those warm moments you lived trough the heat wave, and pack some memories for the coldest winter and the hurricane seasons. Los dejo con Residente, que siempre cierra con broche… de Oro.
