It's my birthday and I'll slack if I want to.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I've been busy all week eating $1000 sundaes (video coming soon), preparing for my birthday party tonight and packing for the upcoming Florida trip, so I really haven't had time to update until today. Poor Paul (the anglophile) was carjacked at gunpoint in his neighborhood, so he hasn't been home to update either (I swear his life is a sitcom gone all wrong). We're just a messy bunch. But... I wanted to get some good finds in before I got too drunk and took flight for a few days. Hope you enjoy 'em!


Pop Levi sounds like he stepped straight out of 1976 into 2006 after being stuck in a smoking den since the sixties. That probably sounds better in my head than it does through your eyes, but I think I got a contact high from his music. I really enjoy bands that can recreate that nostalgic sound without glossing it up too much for the airwaves (other past favorites have included Ideal Free Distribution). I also find this guy oddly attractive, like the weirdo all your friends warn you about. Hey, he can pop my levis anytime...

Yes, I'm well aware of how tacky that was. Now watch this video for "Blue Honey":

Another great find are the lovely San Franciscoans (San Franians? San Franciscanites? San Franks? Which one is right?) of LoveLikeFire. Ann Yu has a voice sometimes similiar to Lush circa Lovelife, but it doesn't quite stick there. It's just the first thing that struck me when listening to "Bulletproof". And I have to tell you, I have a soft spot for talented bands fronted by cute girls. Don't we all?
