Video Hook-Up: Throw Me the Statue – “Lolita”


Many of you might simply recognize this as “that song from the Rhapsody commercial,” but “Lolita” is among the strongest songs on the amazing debut [link] from Throw Me The Statue [Myspace], Moonbeams. It really is all things that are right with indie pop, but, then again, it was put out by Secretly Canadian whose A&R folks have amazing taste in what does and doesn’t work in the modern indie landscape.

Due partially of the success of the commercial (and being on an Urban Outfitters soundtrack/sampler), there are an awful lot of fan videos out there, but this here is the official video for the single. If you like what you hear, pick up the album online and gawk at the boobies on the cover! TMTS leader Scott Reitherman has taste, yo.
