More on my precious Noisettes (baguette not shown)


Hey! Noisettes in the Times yesterday! Not that it will make Americans less stupid, but, in a sane world, their new album would be #1, so any little bit helps these kids up the ladder to eminence.


This fried my mind:



Once when she was bodysurfing, Ms. Shoniwa [the singer/bass player] lost
her bass pick. "Someone handed me a stale baguette and I carried on playing with
that."


Who brings a stale baguette to a rock show? Granted, it may have been from the deli tray. Still, that sort of plucky resourcefulness - who you see that in some American tripe like, I dunno, the Used?
