The Aliens consist of former Beta Band members John Maclean, Robin Jones, and Gordon Anderson. This single is the follow-up to their Alienoid Starmonica. It's no "Dry The Rain," but we'll take what we can get.
More fun at aliens1.

Blank Dogs are actually singular: It's the insanely prolific one-man Brooklyn-based band of Mr. Blank Dog. We don't know too much about the biography of the guy behind the bedroom new-wave pop/punk and he's usually covering his face with masks...

Raleigh-via-Eau Clair BTW Megafaun debuted impressively earlier this year with Bury The Square. The trio nip-and-tuck experimental tendencies (tape splicing, white noise colliding with banjo, junkyard-laced spring reverb, screeching feedback at the tail end of a quiet back porch lament)...

Skeletal Lamping is anything but skeletal. When we took a close listen to album closer "Id Engager" we mentioned it wasn't the strangest, most ambitious, or best tune on of Montreal's new one, but after absorbing the other 14 tracks,...

Hey I like that! Its certainly a chirpy little ditty. Completely the opposite direction to KBT too.
Score = 0
thaT song is shit
i also saw them live and it was shit too
Score = 0
maybe not the greatest song, but a perfect mixtape selection slotted right before the truckers' "hell no, I ain't happy."
Score = 0
Isn't this a cover? I swear I've heard at least 15 other versions of a song that goes "happy happy happy happy" over and over....seriously, is this a cover?
Score = 0
sooo annoying. the beta band was so good, im disappointed. maybe its a joke?
Score = 0
I actually kind of like this - it reminds me of some of the less often explored poppy new wave 12"'s in my collection - original mirrors, china crisis, how we live - stuff that didn't remain in the public memory for very long but in which, if you dig through it, you'll find a decent amount of gems. There's also maybe a roots-rocky sort of Nick Lowe feel that's kind of part in parcel with the other stuff I described. Wondering how this'll play in the indie-'06 - I think it'd be fun to dance to, granted not immediately, but after a few cocktails, definitely doable.
Score = 0
wow that was annoying
