I tried, but could never get past that "Freddy" looks exactly like 
Adrian Grenier (Vincent Chase in Entourage).  Tho it does appear the 
music we call power-pop is shaking it's jangly ass again in the youth 
market, but with a distinctly healthy dance orientation. My faves from 
last year Two Door Cinema Club appear to be conquering all (so, so 
awesome live), tho I'm hoping Friendly Fires becomes their Rolling 
Stones counterpoint.

Speaking of  Adrian Grenier, if you get the chance, I highly recommend 
Grenier's self-made documentary from 2001 (before fame) about tracking 
down & reuniting with the father he never knew, mostly due to his hippy 
commune mother. Not all all the typical missing father story.

Cheers,
