Down low on the downloads!
It's late, I'm bored and here are some tunes I think are worth giving a listen to!
List of slower indie songs:
-Sunday's Best- The salt mines of Santa Monica*
-Brandtson- Drawing a line in the sand (This was my favorite song for a long time. Check them out at purevolume.com/brandtson...GO!)
-Caterpillar- Pine cone* (I'm lovin it, 'All of that for a pine cone.')
-Low- Sunflower*
-Yo La Tengo- Don't have to be so sad*
-The Kings of Convience- Misread (Go to the offical site and listen to their ENTIRE cd! It's such great music to have in the background of life!)
List of disco-beat-killer songs:
-Elefant- Misfit (A must buy for funky bass line lovers and disco beat junkies)
-Action!Action!- Drug like (If you like the above, shoot for Action!Action!)
-Ex-Girl- Pretty you ugly (Thanks luke!)
-Le Tigre- My metro card
-Action!Action!- Lets never go to sleep
-Erase Errata- Tongue Tied*
-Bride of No No- Pools of Mercury*
-The Deathray Davies- Is this on*
-Vue- Pictures of me*
-Radio 4- Dance to the underground*
-The Rapture- Out of the races and onto the tracks (Everybody knows this song has been my theme song for about 2 years now...still going strong.)
-Fugazi- Turkish Disco (Hell while were at it I'll throw in my anthem as well!)
To make life easier, the songs with stars next to them can be found here:

So that's what I've been listening to lately. Tell me what you like and make me a merry person!
chill chill chill...
Well it's been awhile hasn't it?! I must say today has been the most chill day ever. I was in my dirty jeans (dirty meaning haven't washed in 3 weeks) smelly sweatshirt watching Comedy Central 'Slacker Day Sunday' movie special with all your favorite slacker movies. (Real Geniuses, Slackers, Ferris Buler's Day Off...) I should probably get off my ass and be productive, but things have been pretty crazy these past few weeks, so I feel obliged to take a day off... :)
We played in Great Barrington MA, and it rocked amazingly. The other acts were too cool to talk about. Just too cool. And I think we are individually creating secret crushes on at least one band member in Sorry in Advance, The Saughtermeisters or Tympanic. Either or we were creaming our pants.
News News News! We are playing NYC again for the Jack Spade battle of the bands show on December 11. I am speechless. Speechless. For those who don't know, Jack Spade is this hip designer who makes these awesome, but pricey messenger bags! His designer line is somehow connected to Kate Spade, which is a more familiar name...I can't get it straight. Whatever it may be, we are playing at their show in NYC, and we are glad to get back in the city!
Another show to look out for is the December 19 at Castaways! And we need EVERYBODY to be there! It's going to be a kick ass show! It's going to be Kiev, The Compass Failure (Kick ass band from Syracuse: http://www.purevolume.com/thecompassfailure) and maybe one from MA? Well see...
Okay, I'm zoning out.
