I'm not a fan of their music, but I am a fan of re-contextualizing non-art things and making them art, something I think the cover for their new album does quite well.

I saw this picture the other day online and thought this woman was really pretty. now i know why it was circulating. Of course, I have to note their use of Futura, and while I'm at it, Margot wore a yellow Polo [dress] i believe.

Wow. It seems that VW will follow the Belle & Sebastian style with his covers.
Don't you think that?

I love the first album.

Well I think they wouldn't mind since the Smiths didn't seem to mind when Bell & Sebastian started doing it.

I just bought Contra the other day. It's alright. They aren't really...growing at all. But it's still pretty good. I enjoy it.
