If you find yourself in the mood for some warm, shoegazish indie pop, give this track a try. Insound's description pretty much says it all:

"The Pains [myspace], as they are known on the streets of NYC, play dreamy indie pop. Soothing and addictive, listening to this track is like that reoccurring sweet tooth that you can't ever seem to satisfy. They perfectly combine lush guitars, bouncing bass-parts, keys, and reverberated male/female vocals with an explosive drum machine. This is stuff that even your local town bully couldn't resist."

The band's bio on the site namechecks The Ramones, The Pastels, Black Tambourine (and "Throw Aggi from the Bridge"), the Field Mice, Robert Smith, and the idea of being famous to 10-15 people, all of which are appropriate references.
