but been digging some records this weekend - WYE OAK - a two-piece indie pop/rock band, merge records, sounds a bit like versus or yo la tengo, and normally i would think 'so what' but the album is just, i dunno, great. the new NOTWIST record starts off good - this is my first listen and i can't remember anything they've done in years but i still have a fond spot for the 'torture day' 7" i bought my freshman year of college ... SKELETON CREW learn to talk and the country of blinds - so incredibly underrated and good.
