Yay or nay?

I give you "We Are Golden" the new MIKA single. I can't decide how I feel about it. The random teenagers yelling through the chorus are kind of distracting/annoying, but it still has that fun sense of cheesy grandeur for which MIKA is famous.



Also, I'm about a third of the way through Unaccustomed Earth and it's fantastic (shocking, I know, what with The New York Times and Amazon and Jesus putting it on their best book lists). Lahiri writes her dialouge in block paragraph form, so the pages are dense, but her writing is so delicate and precise you hardly notice. Reading her stories is like sitting quietly on a cloud.
