Ok, right, Ok...right

Ok so everyone knows that Azaria from The Follow is going out with one of them Veronicas chicks [Trash even blogged about them a week or so ago]
BUT I only just found out KJ aka Kara Jane, the petite bassist of The Follow is 'romantically linked' with...wait for it...Craig Nichols from The Vines. Apparently the pair met on new years eve and hit off blah blah blah you know the story...
thats one massive WTF. I love both bands but I would NOT have seen this coming...
Seriously, he's even written a song about her.
'Kara Jane' - The Vines

The Year Indie Rock Broke

I can't look at this photo without thinking of the Azaria who was a contestant on Popstars (ironic, I know) during the 90's, the Azaria who was at first praised for his individualism and eventually cut down by it's double edged sword. He was the first person in the mainstream media I felt I could identify with, and showed me that it was okay to be the loner kid who listened to "wierd" bands.

So will I hold The Follow in contempt now that they are in the public eye? No. I will not disown them if they find success or a new legion of fans via association, because good music deserves to reach a huge audience, no matter how disingenuous that audience is.

But will I cry myself to sleep at night, thinking of him with her? Goddamn right I will. Because he was mine, goddamnit.

The Follow - Smashed Heart

For me to be saved & you to be brave we don't have to walk down that aisle

Blake Sennet & Winona Ryder are apparently engaged! I am kind of morally conflicted by this, because ol' five fingers is notorious for killing careers, but think of the heartache for Jenny Lewis! And the inevitable divorce! And the harsh media spotlight! And that, my friends, will be the making of a beautiful record.

Mazel tov!
