I think Yo la are a band that build their music around I & G's relationship in an interesting way. There's something so suburban and domestic about them. "Center of Gravity" is a beautiful song that is only added to by knowing the singers are actually in love.

Were Hope Sandoval & Dave Roback a couple? And can anyone think of any gay couples?

Fleetwood Mac! Although there's an example of the relationships being more interesting than the music.

ABBA. Was Ace of Base two couples? That would be too perfect.

The men from Matmos are partners both in and out of the recording studio, I believe. Making music like they do with someone you love seems like a good life to me. I doubt its any different for them; maybe more so if the couple is making love songs.

The best partnership is Waits & Brennan, at least the way Waits always describes it in interviews: "It's like a mom and pop store -- I bring home the flamingo, she plucks the feathers and pops it in the oven" or "She holds the nail, I swing the hammer."

i was just saying that ira and georgia should have a reality show in which every episode consists of them sitting around their apartment listening to a different obscure record -- and they wouldn't comment on it for the camera or anything, they'd just go about their lives, air-guitaring, grabbing a beer from the fridge, reading zines out loud to each other.
