...moon at all, at least not literally. What it deals with is the cataclysmic summer of 1969 and how the changing times reflect the unstable life of one Brooklyn family. Given that, don't come into this film looking for a hippie-filled, stereotypical treatise on '60s American pop culture. The film (thankfully) dodges that landmine of boring triteness and succeeds, instead, in telling a heartfelt story of personal discovery...
...What's the secret to Gomez's success? Ottewell, vocal and slide guitar guru, attributes it to their insularity, "We didn't really give a shit about Brit pop or whatever, any trends that were going on. It was just music we wanted to hear, really." But, lest we assume each member of the quintet approaches their music with the same idea, Ben reminds us that they each bring unique musical tastes to the table.

Romanians continuously begged for clothing and go sell it on the street, stole whatever they could from the common...
Over spring break I flew over to London. There's something to be said about going to the Virgin Megastore on Oxford Street and seeing a whole ground floor dedicated to dance music and singles, with pop and rock relegated to the floor above. That a chain store, a reflector of mass consumption tastes, chose to arrange its space that way says something about the music scene across the Atlantic. In contrast, I came back to the U.S. and logged on to cdnow.com, only to find dance music classified under the manufactured catch-all heading "Urban/Electronic...
