I'll be on stage, too, by the way.

Ok...so now that you've taken that acid

You can check out this video from Brooklyn's own MGMT. They're part of the indie (I think I left out the tr) music explosion whose epicenter is that most central nyc borough. I saw them a few weeks ago at the echoplex and thought they were a bunch of 16 years channeling Spinal Tap. In the best way.

Wow

Sublime:
a:) lofty, grand, or exalted in thought, expression, or manner
b:) of outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth
c:) tending to inspire awe usually because of elevated quality (as of beauty, nobility, or grandeur) or transcendent excellence
d:) "Gang of Losers" by The Dears

This album locked me in from the first note and I didn't turn away until it was all over. Some may think "Hey, these guys sound like The Smiths." First of all, Negative Nancy, you need to lighten up. Second of all, The Smiths are awesome right? But they haven't made music in a while, right? Something to the tune of twenty years. Well, I figure that there is room in the current music scene for a band that sounds a lot like The Smiths. Besides, somebody's gotta do it, right?

I know that this album came out in 2006. But, I just heard it and I want to extol its virtues from the mountain tops.

They also have inspired my next post which will be up in a few days.
