If you can spare a moment
before you read about today's artist then I recommend checking out the
limited edition Harold And Maude LP
set
that the good people over at Light In The Attic Records have put together.
For only $75 you can buy one for yourself and one for me, which is pretty
much the best deal ever! I'll wait by the mailbox. Now, as a few
of you may have noticed Polyvinyl's Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin
have readied a sophomore effort titled Pershing. I still
remember when their debut, Broom, landed on my desk when I was
working in college radio. I was totally expecting it to be overly
quirky or strange, but it was just four guys who had made a good pop record.
Hopefully, April 8 will bring more of the same. Enjoy.

Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin - Glue Girls:
Well, if you've ever needed absolute proof that you don't
have to be original to be great then this song will do the
trick. There's no brilliantly original songwriting,
unique vocals or a wildly creative arrangement.
Nothing! It's just that kind of gem where everything
is done well, and I'm more than OK with that. You will
be too once the catchiness reaches your ears.
It's been quite
awhile since I've sat down and gave Broom a good
listen, so this video for Pangea has certainly served
as a nice reminder of the album's fanciness. My guess
is that it might do the same for you.
