CD Review: Friendly Fire, by Sean Lennon
Sean Lennon's Friendly Fire is currently featured on The Booth at MySpace. We love it, but before getting into our review, let's acknowledge and chase from our parlor the elephant, so we don't have to clean up after it.
When you hear his name, you can't avoid it, and we're no different. We can't forget who Sean Lennon is: a Sunnydale survivor who planted both boots on the blessed boards of the Bronze, in When She Was Bad--the premiere episode of the sacred second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, you can see him with Cibo Matto, playing Spoon, and later Sugar Water (while Buffy dances her sexy dance, making Angel jealous, and Xander crazy). Yes, that episode goes to eleven: Ice cream on noses! I mock you with my ice cream cone, Amish guy! I have to consult my books! We're you're bosom friends--the friends of your bosom! Clog dancing! Did I ever thank you for saving my life--don't you wish I would? Spank your inner moppet! Bitca! Undead American! It's entirely pointy! Well, we could grind our enemies into talcum powder, but gosh, we did that last night!
The review in its entirety may be found at MySpace.com/GoodTV_Vox.
Friendly Fire is available now and does not come cheap, but a DVD of shorts which together, as The Booth review explains, "comprise a conceptual film about betrayal and the failure of love," is bundled with it. You get what you pay for and then some. You can view trailers at various sites online, including Capitol Records. Buy it today, or at least give it a listen at The Booth.
We fell in love with it, instantly, particularly the Cole Porter-esque Tomorrow.
