Did any of you get a weird
error when trying to visit the site yesterday? I kept coming across a
message about the server while I was at slaving away at the office, but I
didn't see such a thing when I got home, and I'd like to know if I should
throw my work computer down the stairs. Know what I mean? OK,
with my final "regular" post of the year I'm going to give you something
from a band that I've only ever casually liked, Nada Surf. That
totally isn't anything against them - I've just only ever paid attention to
the singles. Until now. Sort of. What awaits you
below is actually an unreleased b-side that the good people over at Barsuk
sent me to get you hyped up about the Nada Surf Vinyl Box Set (1994-2008).
It's out today. I like vinyl (hint hint). Enjoy.
:Nada
Surf - No Quick Fix:
This is a catchy and fairly forward pop rock tune that
probably isn't going to sweep you off your feet and make you
a fan if you aren't already, but I think that it's a nice
indication of how solid the band has been throughout all of
these years. I mean, how many acts can claim such
consistency? Now if only I knew what album this ended
up being cut from. Anyone care to make an awesome Nada
Surf-informed guess?
I have no clue
as to why I have yet to say anything about the Lucky
album that the group put out earlier this year, but I'm
happy to be mentioning it now. This song is called
Whose Authority.
