more about "Uh Huh Her | Not A Love Song | Video ...", posted with vodpodI've passed several adds for this band on the street. It caught my I because the band name is the title of a PJ Harvey album. I'm not really a true PJ fan, but I like her enough to offended by the lameness of what is a truly stupid band name. When I looked them up, I found even more reasons to hate. For one, this video for their lead single, "Not A Love Song" is absolutely embarrassing--especially when you consider both parties are in their late 30s. Secondly, you might recognize the lead singer (actress/musician Leisha Halley), as I immediately did, from two of the most loathsome pieces of media in recent memory:1. The L Word 2. Those damn Yoplait commercialsAll that being said, I streamed their album on the website, and it's not as awful as I'd hoped--super weak lead single notwithstanding. Most notably, it sounds really expensive production-wise, and the songs, at their base, are kinda throwback (mid-90s Lilith Fair) in a not-so-bad way, very radio friendly. Actually, I really wouldn't be surprised if they caught some luck and sold a lot of records. I can't really tell if I'm cutting them slack because I like some of aspects of the sound or 'cause in the age of little girl trash rock, it's a little refreshing to hear from woman old enough to appreciate someone like PJ Harvey, even if they've shown in the most embarrassingly adolescent of ways.
