A Wake Is Proof You've Been Somewhere

Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Jordan wrote about Boat a while ago, but they haven't given up on being immediately interesting, perfectly catchy. Get into them, and they'll live at your house for a week or two. Their lo-fi-ness sometimes gets in the way like a great book written in comic sans. Get a little clearer recording, Boat, and Wes Anderson might consider you for the next movie. Decisions are hard for Boat. This is the 2nd of 2, and hopefully more, songs celebrating the achievement of having come to a decision. Which I guess is valid, that is a hard thing to do. But once you write a song about it, you better stick to that decision. Otherwise, you'll have to write another song, and then you're in a different genre. [Info/Buy] p.s. if you live in Seattle, go to their show on Wednesday! ***** After posting tracks from L'Éclisse, Kieran contacted me with a huge wealth of actual recordings by Giovanni Fusco. This is called Happy Surf. It is clear why this is. Posted by Dan at September 26, 2005 1:57 PMComments
This boat song sort of reminds me of a certain david dondero song! Posted by Gina at September 26, 2005 2:37 PMWhat show on Wednesday? Posted by Adonis at September 27, 2005 9:30 PMThe band is preparing to play their best show yet at Neumo's Crystal Ball Reading Room on Wednesday Sept. 28th. They will be playing with No Fi Soul Rebellion, Martian Memo To God, and The Conversation Heart. Plans are in place to recruit the 3 piece string section for this show. Will it happen? I bet it will.
