Carl Newman Has Good Taste

I was just talking to Little Earl about Carl "AC" Newman's new album, Get Guilty. Long story short, I like it. There was an old interview with Newman in which he claimed that he lacked talent, but made up for it with good taste. That explanation appeals to me, and relates back to my appreciation for the band XTC.

Then I read this new emusic.com interview with Newman:

"What are a couple of your all-time favorite movies, and do they ever influence the content of your lyrics? - Brian S.

I really love Rushmore. Probably my favorite movie."

In case you're new around here, or are old around here and didn't know it, Rushmore is one of my favorite movies. Thus it is proven, Carl Newman has good taste.
