Submitted for your approval -- an utterly adorable video (I was under the impression it was done by a fan, but now it seems it's the official one) for "Nobody Knows Me at All" by The Weepies. Yes, the same band whose "All That I Want" prompted me to put up a perhaps overly sappy Christmas post on several occasions here over the years.
In any case, I think I posted the clip above most recently on New Year's Eve day of 2008, so think of it as a return to an ongoing PowerPop tradition.
And say what you will about these guys (including that singer Deb Talan has the cutest, most affecting suburban voice in contemporary pop) I think it's safe to say that they write the best bridges since Lennon and McCartney. Seriously -- that little bit beginning with "But oh...when the lights are low" opens the song up like Cinemascope.
Have a great time later, everybody.
And remember -- if you're out on your bike tonight, wear white.
Evening, all.

Hey -- if you think this one is sappy, wait till you see what I'm posting tomorrow.
:-)
Really, we don't forget the enjoyment of New Year’s Eve experience. It's such an interesting news for celebrating New Year's Eve in Seattle.
Happy New Year - Steve, Mary, Kid and all of the Powerpop commenters - thanks for making this a great blog!
Like the Weepies track...
BTW, if you haven't seen 'Color Me Obsessed', a rock doc about the Replacements yet, it's available online here - I really enjoyed it!
You're spot-on about the bridges.
