Breakfast at Sulimay's



I don't know how in the world this slipped by me, but I finally caught my first episode of Breakfast at Sulimay's and am officially hooked! The premise of the youtube series are 3 elderly people, er, critics - Bill, Ann and Joe - reviewing current 'hip' music. It's hilarious. And sweet. Old people are so cute.

Here's one where they review a Yo La Tengo song, which they all unanimously like. Ann, looking like a crazy bag lady, goes so far as to call it 'a humping song' and instructs everyone to 'lick their lips'. And Joe is adorably serious about his job as a critic.


Here they review Beirut's 'My Night With A Prostitute in Marseille'. Anne says, 'How boring! That is not a prostitute song, I would know.' And Joe thinks the song is 'after dinner music, when you're throwing up.'** Then they review Sepultura, which Bill likes and Ann headbangs along too. Sounds amazing, no?


**Of course, if you know me, you know I love Beirut and have to disagree with the critics' opinions of him, no matter how cute and old they may be. And because I can, here's a video for Nantes, a song I'm quite enamored with. And if you've got time to kill, go watch this version too!
