I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

Hipsters and indie rock fans (Gothamist is not sure if these are the same people; working on the Venn diagram), rejoice: I Am Trying To Break Your Heart is on DVD today.

They subscribe to Spin, wear sandals-sport sandals-and still enjoy wearing gas-pump shirts with someone else's name.

They don't get fat, they stay on good terms with their ex-girlfriends, and they probably went through a big Thelonious Monk period in college. They mumble but don't do hard drugs. They are creative but stymied (think freelance Web designer, or Esquire fact-checker), but just like Wilco, they will not sell out-oh, no. They can quote Robert Christgau, don't make a lot of eye contact, and a lot of them are broke.

But they're single! (Read more here)
