The Popular Monsters
My brother, ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) daspatrick, is a . . . well, let's just say he's a ridiculously cool individual. I have a whole set of anecdote fragments that I tell to try and convey to people how cool he is without monopolizing the conversation, including the fact that he drove across Asia in a tiny car, that when he was 17 we had UWTV on pretty much constantly because they had a feed from MIR and he had a crush on one of the cosmonauts, that he makes movies sometimes. . . and that he's in a band, the Popular Monsters.
Now, first of all, let's ignore the fact that I have the MySpace page up to link to it, and it started playing Turtle Rock and Lily FREAKED OUT with joy and began to dance wildly while wearing Erik's hiking boots, and how cute that must be. (although I tell you, it's pretty damn cute.) Patrick does most of the songwriting for the band, and as someone who's always fancied herself to be moderately musically talented, it drives me to sick jealousy that he is as good a songwriter as he is. Liberty Lake is a really good encapsulation of that weird period in a group of friends' lives where everything is kind of awesome but it's becoming brutally clear that something's going to change pretty soon; No Love for Plants and Cats is a sweet, sad eulogy for a relationship that ended not with a bang, but with a whimper.
So, anyway, hit the MySpace page and give them a listen, will ya? Maybe then you can realize the Coolness that Is My Brother too.

While the magnitude of praise coming from one as overwhelmingly talented as my sister pushes the limits of credibility, The Popular Monsters are definitely worth a listen! PS I do ALL of the songwriting, to date! |
