Breakfast at Sulimays is a hilarious web video assignment I saw on Stereogum where 3 senior citizens listen to popular songs and blab their honest opinion. The 3 reviewers are: Bill, who doesn't say much that is interesting, Ann, the schizophrenic "ditty ditty bang bang" bitch, and Joe, my favorite 121 year old. Ann likes to babble and make annoying comments throughout all the songs. She refers to the Doves as a country band, "If this is a country and western thing, it's not Rascal Flats but it's pretty good." I get a little nervous when they show clips of Joe because his extra long blinks make me pray his eyes will open again. His comment is always "it's not my cup of tea" but his music critiques are surprisingly spot on. The only song out of 6 that two out of the three geezer listeners liked was Bon Iver's "Blood Bank" from his Blood Bank - EP (January 2009).
