Great rock quotes 4ever
I regularly claim to be into really credible, alternative bands and to altogether have impeccable musical taste.
My frequent declarations of fondness for the Bangles do not help.
Nor will this confession:
I seriously considered buying "The Secret Life of the Veronicas"
Why on earth does anyone over 20 like the Veronicas? Sure, they won at least one ARIA this year, but seriously, why? There are many excellent reasons:
Firstly, I heard an interview with Jess and Lisa (they are twin sisters, they can't both be called Veronica) on some radio station or other before I ever heard any of their music. They were both engaging and personable. Also, they sang "4ever" live in the studio with only an acoustic guitar for backing and they could actually sing.
Secondly, "4ever" is wonderfully happy and poppy and thoroughly mainstream and yet they managed to include a beautifully filthy guitar riff that would not have been out of place on Soul Asylum's "Somebody to Shove" or Rocket Science's "Sex Call".
And thirdly and most importantly, there was this little bit of dialogue as reported in last Satuday's Age. The sisters were arguing over a decision made by their record company and how they should have handled the situation. Lisa said people come to her because they are afraid to speak to Jess, while Jess said people should be frightened to speak to Lisa because she is so ugly. And then we get this:
Jess: Your face would scare anyone.
Lisa: We're identical twins. Moron.
Go. To. Love. That.

Yeah, one of them is pretty sharp and the other is quite not.
I was watching some chick interview them on like Video Hits or something and the interviewer was being all fun and crazy and asking one of them to look at cards while the other guessed via twinESP what was on the card. One of them sulked and didn't understand the game and threw a mini tanty while the other got into it and saved the interview and was like charming and stuff. I was like disappointed and impressed at the same time. This story may have been better if I knew which was which.

I don't think anyone actually knows which is which.
