Watch (the newly reconfigured) Cute Is What We Aim For’s party-in-reverse video, “Practice Makes Perfect.” And please note: the song’s opening notes pay obvious homage to blink-182’s “What’s My Age Again,” and the theme instantly brings to mind William Beckett’s remorse in The Academy Is…’s “Everything We Had” video, no?
