Dating the Women of Indie Rock
Kevin Nguyen of The Bygone Bureau examines the pros and cons of dating famous indie chicks.
Pros: Hot, talented, sometimes models for Chanel.
Cons: Probably crazy, will dump you for Kevin Drew.
Important observations: "Former child actor Jenny Lewis, better known as the lead vocalist of Rilo Kiley, is super cute, but part of me has always suspected that the band’s recent popularity has only been sustained solely by this fact...Unfortunately, the biggest obstacle with dating Jenny Lewis is that you’ll have to listen to Rilo Kiley at one point, or even worse, something off her solo album..."
Supposedly there will be an article about dating the men of indie rock on Wednesday. My predictions:
Sufjan Stevens, Pros: plays the banjo, not afraid to cry. Cons: technically a Christian rocker.
Devendra Banhart, Pros: giant beard, sings about unicorns. Cons: giant beard, "friends" with Lindsay Lohan.
Colin Meloy, Pros: MA in English Lit, cool glasses. Cons: nasal voice pillow talk, cardigans.

I like Rilo Kiley! Kind of! At least that one album was good! And if it meant getting with Jenny Lewis, I would listen to her solo album as many times as needed. I think we're underestimating a very important fact here: Jenny Lewis is the cutest thing that exists in the universe forever.
