shame is so in this season

i'm in love... pt. 3

i think i left off on f. and f is for foo. you should know that already. (my itunes lover has all the albums, b-sides, imports, live tracks, acoustic tracks, etc). it's like a library of foo. and a great library it is. anyway, moving on...


[frausdots] german for too cool for school.

5 dudes, 1 chick, subpop label... frausdots are nice bunch. mellow sounds - i know, seems to be a theme - at work... totally apropos.
the extremists
dead wrong


[fruit bats] funny, they just look like geeks to me.

i was first introduced to fruit bats by a irish bartender. he also took me to a franz ferdinand show (this was back in 2003 - yeah, waay back when) so i trusted his taste in music (i also loved his accent, but that's a different story altogether). so anyway, he was right. pop you can tap your chuck taylors along to.
lives of crime
a bit of wind
slipping through the sensors


[gang of four] one, two, three... how quaint.

gang of four are not great men. but they are newly revived heroes of the punk/new wave genre. they were the inspiration of all the bravery/killers-esque bands out there right now.
listen to them live on kexp


[the heavenly states] that kangaroo plays a mean tambourine

the heavenly states are touted as the first us band to play in libya (indeed, rocking the casbah). they're also mentioned in this month's spin mag as "new music to hear now". now i know that neither of those two facts establish any credibility so go to your local record store and check out their latest album, black comet, which came out yesterday.

aye basta! hasta luego.
