Hometown Boy Makes Good

This past July, on my way to a party at St. Mark's Church thrown by delightful spazz Brendan Fowler, I ran into a fellow tablemate from the freaks-and-geeks side of our high school cafeteria, Erik (second from right). I hadn't seen him in four years, and he told me his band had been signed and they were headlining the St. Mark's benefit. I left before they came on, because I am a jerk, and I never checked the Virgins out until I heard them last Wednesday...on "Gossip Girl"! They also did a tour opening for that band Jet. They're officially kind of a big deal. Yaaay Erik!
This song is the hottness:
