I'm not entirely sure that my
lame head cold is all the way gone, but it looks like I'm making progress
towards being able to comfortably breathe again. Good enough, I guess.
In other news, I have a post up over at Austin Sound that deals with
Haunting Oboe Music's February EP. If you remember I mentioned
their EP-a-month project a little while back, so jump over
there
to hear what they've cooked up now. Speaking of Austin Sound, the main
brain behind the site, Doug Freeman, recently told me that lately he's been
digging a Mountain Goats-inspired group by the name of the Hospital Bombers.
Well, as fate would have it one of their tracks from their new album,
Footnotes, appeared in my inbox yesterday, and now I'm onboard as well.
Prepare to join us. Enjoy.
:The
Hospital Bombers - The Devil's Music:
"Have you been listening to the Hospital Bombers
again?/Don't you know they're an evil band?/They're bad for
you and I don't ever want you to listen to them ever
again/It's the Devil's music." As much as I love this
gem's tongue-in-cheek lyrical ways I could get by with only
listening to its simplistic pop arrangement for the rest of
my days, as it's just that carefree and likeable.
Trust me when I say it's worth it to just let this blare as
you kick back for a moment and have a good time.
Sure, this may
look like one video for one song but it's actually the band
getting interviewed and performing Jackoff, Heidi Says and
Thunderstorm on a TV show. Best thing ever, right?
Not really, but only because the talking portion is in a
language I don't know.
