Hello Oakland, This is Brooklyn

French Miami is a Mission band turned Williamsburg band - in my opinion a real loss to the area. This song and video were both recorded at Death By Audio in Brooklyn and the song is about Oakland, which is arguably the Brooklyn of San Francisco, give or take some public transit accessibility. I also think we can agree that the main guy in the video looks more than a little bit like Michael Cera, which might or might not be worth mentioning. Enjoy.

Can we have an Army Street rant about comparisons of SF to NYC and Oakland to Brooklyn? The cities are really not that similar.

New York is to Brooklyn as San Francisco is to Oakland. Dude, come on. That's totally fine.

Have you ever been to www.coolopinions.com? You'd like it. They've got good and worthy opinions there. You have the ability.

But Brooklyn is a part of NYC. More like Brooklyn is to NYC as The Mission is to San Francisco or something. If you want to find a comparison for Oakland you're gonna have to Hoboken or Jersey City or something like that.

only a fuckwit would put a dartboard up on a concrete block wall with nothing surrounding it.

"gee, wonder why the points on the darts are so dull? it's not like they've been hitting a concrete wall or anything...."

I interviewed these guys a few years back when their first album dropped, nice dudes. Sorry to hear they left the Bay. The lead singer gets flack for looking like Michael Cera all the time.
