If it’s not Charles Bukowski then it’s Vladimir Nabokov, but males of the indie rock persuasion absolutely must be obsessed with one of the two. Throw Me The Statue(largely the work of one Scott Reitherman) put the famous Lolita into a jaunty pop song as a 19 year old girl.
The video is ably directed by Matt Daniels and this treatment is just chock full of metaphors for sexual repression: the band are locked in a small place, Lolita in a bathtub fully clothed, the young man at the end who goes into a fit of rage and destroy cakes while coconut and white icing fly at his face, even the young boy digging holes. It’s fascinating! We could have a field day!
We approve.
