Vox Nova at the Jukebox: Jonathan David
June 29, 2008
When I was in high-school, my favorite book was Catcher in the Rye. My favorite TV show was My So-Called Life. My favorite film was Rebel Without a Cause. Notice a pattern? Teen angst, baby!
No doubt if they had been around at the time and I had known about them my favorite band would have been Belle and Sebastian. Jonathan David, for example, is a near perfect distillation of all too common scenario (for my teenage self, at least). It also includes an homage to French cinema, and a scripture reference (I have no idea what the outfits are an homage to). Enjoy.

I love Belle and Sebastian.
