The Triangles are the new Polyphonic Spree. Only they’re Australian, there’s only five of them, and they don’t sound all that much like the Polyphonic Spree. But you know what I mean, right? Listen to “Applejack.” Then read the lyrics, because it’s not often you hear the words “lungfish” or “mitochondria” in a song.

And if you don’t understand the line “Sing a song/About how things seem more important at night”… forget it. You won’t get it.

This trailer here. Tell me I didn’t just see it. Tell me I did not just see a trailer for a movie that is I swear to god CHARLIE’S ANGELS meets HERO by the director of THE TRANSPORTER, featuring, apparently, Holly Valance putting on her bra via kung-fu.

Congrats to Carmel Johnson on taking Dan Curtis Johnson‘s fucked-up seed and turning it into a 7 lbs 9 oz. baby girl.
