Okay. Point 1 - I fell in love with this band when you posted about them. GIVE ‘EM ALL A BIG FAT LIP was immediately purchased from amoeba. I got all into the 4/9 acoustic sessions they did.
How is TECHNOLOGY not one of the giant singles of the past 2 years?
Point 2 - I loved the zabriskie point sessions from the floyd - THE RED QUEEN is just, upper echelon cool… then the pre-us and them sequence (the piano sequence) was so sparse and nice.
OR - just revisit some more GP stuff, what with the Flying Burrito brothers show coming out…
Also: yippee - good show! (LE SWITCH, too!?)
1 | Jim Martin (a soon to be casualty of the writers strike) November 8th, 2007 at 3:08 amI really liked this Whigs song-found it pretty fun and catchy. Sort of reminds me of this Indonesian band I recently started listening to a little-they’re a pretty fun, pop-y, make-you-dance-in-your-seat kinda band. They’re called White Shoes & the Couples Company- I’m pretty sure you can get a free MP3 on their label’s website which is www.mintyfresh.com
