I know I'm usually only raving about myself over Austin Sound, but today is different.  We just finished up our yearly compilation that details 21 of Austin's latest and greatest that we think will soon be known all over, and you very much need to go check it out.  Do it now!  Or, if you would prefer to shake it for awhile then I have Creature right here for your convenience.  The Montreal-based act just released their latest effort, No Sleep At All, this past Tuesday, and I think it's probably one of the most fun records that's been put out so far in 2008.  I hope that I get to catch a set or two of theirs at SXSW, which is actually NEXT week.  I'm totally freaking out with excitement.  You should be too, whether you'll be attending or not.  Enjoy.

:Creature - Brigitte Bardot:  "Picture the hottest girl you know in a gold-sparkled bikini drinking a tall glass of water and getting it all over herself."  This is what it says under the "sounds like" portion of the band's Myspace, and believe it or not it's actually the best way to describe this gem.  That, or I guess I could say that somewhere around halfway through it the sheer amount of pure fun that it pumps out may cause your head to explode.  However, I'm not sure that's as appealing as the hot-girl-in-a-bikini approach.  In any case, get ready to dance forever.

I'm always pushing for more humor in videos, and with this first in a series of 12 it looks like Creature took my suggestion to heart.  Watch it if you're willing and ready to begin the process of learning how to achieve inner bliss.  Part two can be found on Youtube.
