Ezra Furman and the Harpoons

I watched this on MTV2 today and thought it was Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but it's totally not. Isn't it wonderful?



I've never made a habit of wearing sunglasses so I'm a bit conflicted in relating to the protagonist of this song. Apparently this song is about putting blinders up to love, says the band:

"People wear sunglasses to ease their eyes from something that is very, very bright. Also people ignore each others’ bright shiny beautiful hearts, you know? This song is what happens when a relationship falls apart because of blindness ... Watch yourself."
(That quote is from the band's Daytrotter Session.)
