I think W&L have done some great songs in their time but I always feel that ultimately they are wannabees-Their sound always comes across like a whistful 17yr old dreaming of the big time but have nothing on a mjor level to offer. Having said that I can see their sound working with others-maybe thats the point-maybe they should be off camera or centr stage.

Salt and Cherries is an interesting title. Wonder how they came up with it?

with nadia and i can tell you that it's absolutely hilarious.

it's so great that the girls used it

Tea bagging?

I have to say again that I like this project very much. In terms of final editing, etc., there may have been room for something a tad more dynamic, but I'm certain it's the gesture here -- not some artistic sublimity -- that the girls were going for.

As for the track, I wonder how many people who've just heard it and have an issue with it have actually heard it as part of an entire album? White Flags has been received by fans as one of their best (if not the best) and most original works. It's hardly derivative or old hat. "Salt & Cherries" is arguably the most traditionally single-worthy track and, therefore, has a certain mindless pop sensibility all by itself. In the context of the entire album, though, that guitar work really stands out and the track cranks.

Very cool!!! I listened twice; 1st watching; 2nd listening. I enjoyed the music more without looking at the video. Good job, Wen n Lis!

the video's cute and the song is catchy. what are people bitching about? i don't get it. and no, i'm not trying to hang on W&L's jock. i just don't find anything objectionable about the song or the video. what i DO find objectionable is people complaining about a band making a video in tribute to their fans. some of you all need to go sit in the time-out corner.

and as for the song itself, for some reason my brain is doing a mental mash-up of this song with "too bad on your birthday" by joan jett & the blackhearts.

man its a cool vid for the purpose

at least Wendy n Lisa recognise and take notice of their fans

and for the record-i could happily watch Wendy play her guitar all day

the girls are having fun and keeping it real

a word Prince wiped from his dictionary a long long time ago

pplrain said:

but the fact that the video is a tribute to their fans is NOT my opinion. it's what it is. did you watch it?

nice to see you keep all my comments on file, though. i'm flattered. no, really.

this song is awful ,i can't belive how much wendy and lisa ass kissers are here.
they did good job before but this song?
c'mon
can u even rember it

can u remember this song after hearing it

CCCCCHHHRRRRRIIIIISSSSS!!!!!

hahaaaha

i like the song

That is so freaking cool!!! For real!!

I liked the song well enough before but the video mash up with fans just gave it a major boost in my book!

Don't mind the haters, they're just sad, mad and feeling bad because Prince didn't and wouldn't do something that cool with and for his fans.

So who else is in the video? Org Roll Call!

Woohoo!!! Herman and Chris!!!!!

My iBook G4 will not play the video, for whatever reason. I'm able to skin through it.

What I like about W&L at this phase is that they really seem to be done with the entire rockstar concept, and just want to connect with their audience in ways that are more authentic. Good for them! I really like what they are doing.

I need to watch this again! I didn't catch Hernman on there

That was cute.

The part with herman and his girlfriend swapping the mask is funny



The song's alright. Good indie-pop cult material. Great concept for a video.

Anxiety said:

Cool stuff

I like it. It's very consistent with their recent fan engagement campaign and increased accessibility.

As someone else stated, it's a fun diversion not meant to be taken seriously. If they continue to make these sorts of videos, it would get old, fast. But, as a one-time thing, it's a novel idea, even if it isn't the best or most interesting video around.

i like it, they're having a lotta fun!...so does anyone else recognise themselves here?..don't be shy!
who were the girls at brighton pier?

Huey is so cute!
