...watch the Owl’s promotional video for the party—had it not been taken down after it caused people on House open-lists to label it, among other things, “a vaguely pathological sexual fantasy.” Suffice it to say the video??s message, and that of the party generally, was that participating women should bring scant clothes and few inhibitions.And one cannot help but wonder whether there were any private words of reproach that passed between TBTN organizers and their Owl Club co-sponsors.

...that just so original?), the song and the band became bona fide emo gods to legions of equally pint-sized girls. The band’s new video, “Rough Landing, Holly,” is kind of like the “Ocean Avenue” video??but on crack. Director Marc Webb intended for a lot to be going on at once…but it’s a little too much.

With their most recent six-minute-plus epic, “Jesus of Suburbia,” they focus on a subject nearer and dearer to them: love and loss among the over-eyelinered. The video??s protagonist, who hubristically claims in subtitled dialogue to be “nailed to a couch, suffering for [his] sins,” is “St.” Jimmy. He has the classic underfed, spiky-black sneering punk look rarely seen past the 1970s...
