Impossible Things

In Impossible City, the Impossible Pop Star sings, and you and I believe in Impossible things...

Pop kids world wide are saddened by the demise of My Favorite, a Brit-sounding synthpop band from Long Island who rocked the indie circuit from 1999 until...well, today. Their leader has posted a heartfelt farewell online. Like the band's music, the piece is somewhat overwritten and pretentious, but it also works. I'll listen to Love at Absolute Zero tomorrow in memory.

Their last appearance, apparently, was on "The Bold and the Beautiful" in August:
It was a hilarious, yet strangely affecting thing for me to watch; the ghost of a teenage bride swirling about on stage. The audience clapping like we were giving some kind of metaphysical encore. The one line of dialogue: "Maybe there will be a miracle today." In fiction, we get happy endings. In life we ask only for second chances. For a band that truly was a soap opera, well the good lord's sense of humor, and empathy, never ceases to amaze.
