Q: Stop, children, what's that sound of silence?
A: It's the sound of me forgetting that I promised to post a song every day.
So to make up for that, I'm going to post a bunch today. Let's say eight. And they're all going to be from bands you haven't heard of, or haven't heard enough of. And they're going to blow your fucking mind into Toledo. Unless you're already in Toledo, in which case they're just going to blow your fucking mind somewhere else, possibly Ann Arbor.
And before you get all doubting Thomas on me, well -- hey, girl, please let me prove myself to you.
This album is inexplicably not available for preorder in the U.S. (only the U.K., it seems), which is a shame, because it's a fucking great record, and a good bet to make my top ten of 2006. It's all the infectuous, guitar-driven melodiousness of A.C. Newman, with none of the red-headed stepchildness*. Tell me what you think. Also, more to come.
*Not that there's anything wrong with being a huge dork, A.C. In fact, it's 45% of why I love the people of Canada, the other 55% being Evangeline Lilly.
