Very disappointed in this. Well, Kathy and I saw this today and we both loved it. I had a grandfather who was similar and I felt really touched by the film. To each their own.

Unfortunately, I haven't a clue who it is, but here are some clues. I've heard two songs. A slowish one which seems to be called "Threw it away", and one with a gleeful chorus about "going underground, down next to your next of kin". The sound is new-wavey - the original new wave: gloriously unslick, and it sounds like they're having fun working out what the instruments can do. It's early B-52s/Talking Heads-ish, and the singer sounds like the bastard daughter of Tom Verlaine. Yet somehow it feels a little more recent. And here's the kicker clue - the main instruments include accordion. The questions: who is this? Are they still recording? Any recommendations?
