Before I get on with today's
ramble I need to mention Light In The Attic's super Holiday Sale that they
have going on. My trusty columnist Noah, who does an assortment of
things for the label, emailed me yesterday frantically claiming that people
can save somewhere around a "million dollars" right now if they take
advantage of the bundles and mark downs. That's probably an
exaggeration, but if I were you I'd still take a
look.
Now, on with Fol Chen! The Los Angeles-based act just signed to the
almighty Asthmatic Kitty, who will release their debut Part 1: John
Shade, Your Fortune's Made in February. You should expect them to
provide a little something to help dance this hump day straight into
history. Enjoy.

Chen - Cable TV:
"Would you come away with me?/I'm not rich/But the first
night is on me." If you can take a moment to stop
grooving to this gem's simplistic beat and soft electronic
touches then I think you might actually find some substance
in the let's-just-getaway mentality of the songwriting.
After all, who hasn't wanted to just abandon their
responsibilities and retreat to a place that will allow you
to do nothing but relax and watch some cable TV? No
one, I say!
All I know
about this video is that it's the band performing one of
their first shows at a venue (or event?) called Let's
Independent. Anyone care to help with at least the
title of the song?
