Backtrack :: Plumtree :: Scott Pilgrim


So I've been waiting far too long for this day. Scott Pigrim Vol. 4 is here! Undoubtedly one of my favorite comics in years, Scott Pilgrim is one of those perfect pictures of a generation (my generation, in this case). I could go on and on about it, but hey, this is a music blog, right? Why am I even mentioning a comic? Well, first off, it's written and drawn by Bryan Lee O'Mally, who is the brains behind Kupek, a band we've written about before. Not only that, but the titular character is named after a song by all-girl, all-Canadian indie pop group Plumtree. While unfortunately now defunct, Plumtree was one of those groups that emerged from the under the tattered flannel of grunge and made brilliant (and generally happy, gasp!) pop music a lá Matthew Sweet. It's a simple, sweet song that never fails to make me smile as the line 'I've liked you for a thousand years, a thousand years' repeats over and over. Anyway, enjoy the song, and check out the cute Canadian girls who says 'aboot' in the video for the song below.

Good to see another Blogger user supporting Scott Pilgrim, and thanks for the MP3 download, I've been looking for that song for ages.

Cheers.

P.S. -- I mean, thanks for allowing me to listen to said MP3 for reviewing purposes only.

Also I was waiting for this long because I like so much comics specially Scott Pigrim Vol. 4 but I'm waiting for the Vol. 5 because I heard this is better than the other one. Sildenafil Citrate
