(In descending order: The Oldham is bearable when he's not singing. The Petra Haden* is bearable when she's not singing. [I made a funny.] The Devandra is bearable for the two seconds the piano sounds like the opening chords to "Imagine." [That is not the highest compliment I've ever given anything.]) (I've actually half-liked a thing or two by Oldham in the past.)
(OK, just listened to Porter Block's MySpace and they are somewhat pop already in a Green Dayish way except a lot lot lot wankier and more rueful and worse and I wouldn't want Green Day to sing "Breaking Free" either, but it's possible they'll give something to the song. "Breaking Free" is far and away the best thing on High School Musical.)
*But on the evidence of her MySpace, ruining other people's song seems to be what she does.
