In which a group of graying eternal amateurs discuss their passions, interests and obsessions, among them: movies, art, politics, evolutionary biology, taxes, writing, computers, these kids these days, and lousy educations.

Oh my sweet Jesus is that sexy. Listen to it five or ten times and the effect is that it... disarms you. I can feel my higher brain functions melting away. Wow.

Good pick.

Every summer I find an infectious song.

here's my pick from last summer Mates of State "Goods"

and here's the sexiest music video I've ever seen that was my pick for the summer before that:

Sugababes "Push the Button"

the Holzbachian (yes, I'm still lurking. had our third child 6 months ago, so I've been quiet lately)

Not that it matters that much, but that ain't the girl from the band. Here she is: http://www.loudersoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/217458208_l.jpg

Came here to mention what Bryan already commented on - The girl in the video is not the singer (of course, given the amount of processing on the vocals... maybe she could be). Not sure who she is.

I looked it up, and it turns out this video is also not the official music video. It's a lot better, at least in conveying a positive, playful aspect of the song. The official video has the (band?) dressed up in retro-style clothing, and seems to be kind of dour.

Love the video, whether it is official or not. Gorgeous song as well.
