Brooklyn’s the XYZ Affair make delightfully relentless little power-pop songs on their full-length debut, A Few More Published Studies. The quartet’s moniker comes straight out of history books (Wikipedia tells me it has something to do with diplomatic tensions between France and the U.S. three hundred years ago), and if you’re in my demographic, so does the video for “All My Friends,” which features Food Network’s own historian of sorts (on “Unwrapped”), Marc Summers. “The idea for the video came about as sort of a pipe dream: we wanted to see if we could collect some of the actors who starred on the Nickelodeon shows we grew up with,” Alex Feder says. “Marc Summers was the first one to sign on, despite his busy travel schedule for 'Unwrapped' and 'Dinner Impossible' [which he produces]. He even offered to help us get contact information for other actors from that era! Marc, Danny Cooksey ['Salute Your Shorts'], Michael Maronna ['The Adventures of Pete & Pete'], and Jason Zimbler ['Clarissa Explains It All'] were four of the nicest guys I have ever met, and it was really wonderful to have them help us in our fun little tribute to the shows of our youth.”
