What are the chances "I wanna be your boyfriend" is a cover of the Ramones song?

on the myspace and this sounds like something i would be into but probably shouldn't be for the sake of my noise cred. [see: Postal Service]

It can't be a coincidence that almost half of Chris' photos are of Alexandra Lawn (cello)...

I think all the pictures should be of the Alexandra.

Discovery is a Brooklyn band that's been around since 2004, been performing all over NYC since then, have international press (Italian Vogue, Z, etc.) and a record coming out next month.
I wonder why Vampire Weekend's offshoot is unlawfully using our name? I contacted their management but didn't hear back. They wouldn't be purposefully ignoring me, would they?

Anyone know of any Discovery shows coming up in the NYC area?

actually except for a couple of songs (namely the cover of I want you back) Discovery is pretty solid.
