    I love that they’re a little jaded and snarky about the song at first and then immediately fall into the groove of it when they start playing.

    Sublime. Mimi Parker's beautiful voice will live on forever. Low personifies punk rock, and I'm happy to have seen them play live on a few occasions over the years.

    Mimi et Alan recadrent tout ça avec la classe que l'on connait.
