Yes! A bubble to burst! *Takes deep breath* The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster *gasps for air* are from Brighton actually. But their second album was really good so let's pretend they are Yanks. I forgot the Yeah Yeah Yeahs who have their moments (Y Control, Maps) and my favouritesest (It's a word) band en ce moment, the mighty Interpol. Evil is without doubt my favouritestest (It's a word!) track of the decade. Other prizes won by this track: Worst Video EVER, Only Song To Start With "Rosemary" And Still Manage To Be Great.
