ok, i know the name isn't that appealing, but after stumbling across these guys (and girl) late one night on the space, i've been ridiculously hooked. dubbing their own sound as that ever-so-trendy ghettotech, i think garage-pop is a much better description. actually, the strokes meets franz ferdinand is an even more accurate one. unfortunately, there isn't too much info floating around on the band and their site doesn't offer up much either, except that the band was named one of the top 25 bands on myspace by rolling stone. which is pretty awesome, but the tunes speak for themselves. the song "wishing well" has a joy division-like opening and quickly develops into the perfect, infectious pop song. "does this mean you're moving on?" is much more modest mouse, but it has the ability to get stuck in my head for days. either way, check 'em out. this band will soon be all over the place and i heart them.

I just listened to the tune you put on the podcast. I like! Thanks.
I'm a little more concerned as to why you're up before 7 a.m.
truthfully-
i was in the middle of writing this and tim called to see if i was coming to murder by death/thursday. well i gave him some horrible excuse about being in my pajamas and about to watch grey's anatomy. then he pulled the line "when have you ever chosen tv over music??" so i went. saw sweaty musicians. got trashed. talked to you. finally left and went to kroger to get more alcohol. came home and fell asleep on the couch. woke up to justin timberlake and decided to move to my bed. saw my unfinished blog and decided to finishi it.
that's what happened. :)
Yeah, my second guess was that you hadn't been to bed yet.
i basically rule. did you listen to the song? i found it ironic.
I haven't had the chance to yet. But I plan on it when I get home.
My whole life is made up of irony. I think it's time Alanis made a comeback and I break out the flannel and Docs.
