Music Video: Little Cities Broach the Subject of Romance With Their Best Friends on ‘Can I Come Over?’

Unfortunately, it’s not always entirely convenient or appropriate to make romantic declarations while standing in a yard, holding a Peter Gabriel-blasting boombox over your head while wearing a trench coat. This may, in fact, prove to be both needlessly invasive and difficult, especially if you’re too young to have seen Cameron Crowe’s earlier work and don’t know what I’m talking about.

Lost & Found: Spoutnique Have Come a Long Way From ‘Long Way Home’

For the last couple years there has been no greater joy than seeing Spoutnique take the stage and watching the slow but inevitable conversion of an audience from “what the heck is this?” to rabid fans.
