There’s indie gigs, comprised of tepid telecaster wielding fops, wistfully gazing over their audience with mock sentiment, casually flicking the well-groomed fringes from their faces. You sit through one after another formulaic and dreary cliché of a song while some feckless dolt essentially rapes you from behind with his jeans on. Watch the minutes slowly tick towards the 11 o’clock curfew and think, please finish now, I’m bored and I want to go home. Then you have Deerhoof gigs.
Johnny Foreigner – Feels Like Summer

Feels like summer apparently. According to Johnny Foreigner at least. They think it feels so much like summer they’ve named their debut single after how summery it feels. It’s called, ‘Feels like Summer’, and it’s about how the summer feels.In fact, in order to express how much like summer it feels they deem it necessary to repeat the lyric “Some summers” 28 times. That’s quite a lot of times to say summer in a song that lasts only 1:45.
