But that’s not why we’re posting this. We actually went to middle school with the violinist to the far left, Keats Dieffenbach, and we’re just geeking out over seeing her play on national TV. Oh, and in spite of what Idolator says, we actually enjoy this new track — you’ll have to dig, it’s after a few lines of unnecessary snark about the string section’s outfits — and we’re looking forward to their sophomore album this fall.

The entire staff of Flavorwire went to the same middle school?
The song was only ok, but I do love that Ezra plays natl tv in a patagonia fleece.
no, but we do ride around together in a VW bus (Caroline claps and I play tambourine).
John Hodgman on “Meh”
Did I ever tell you people how much I hate the word “meh”? Nothing announces “I have missed the point” more than that word. It is the essence of blinkered Internet malcontentism. And a rejection of joy. By definition, it may mean disinterest (although simple silence would be a more damning and sincere response, in that case). But in use, it almost universally seems to signal: I am just interested enough to make one last joyless, nitpicky swipe and then disappear. It’s part of the toxic Internet art of constant callous one upsmanship.
Sorry meh, it's our house style. And as I'm the only full time Flavorwire staffer, it's kinda true…
hey, and don't sell my kazoo-playing short!
