happy happy birthday to me galt ja schon seit jeher als eines der liebsten label im klienicum. zuletzt sah man die jungs und mädels aus athens aber eher mit einem kopfverband herumlaufen. denn es war etwas still geworden. hier ein cars can be blue release, dort einer von the smittens. sporadisch und ohne spürbaren zug. nun bahnt sich aber eine kleine veröffentlichungswelle an und wir geben bekannt.
zunächst haben wir da the lovely eggs aus dem uk. sie wollen mit ihrem debutalbum namens "if you were fruit" durchstarten. den release kann man als eine art gemeinschaftswerk zwischen hhbtm und cherryade records verstehen, die ihren jeweiligen output auch auf der anderen seite präsentieren. nun, die eggs bieten feist grinsenden powerpop mit damengesang (holly ross) und einem typen, der sich zuweilen einzumischen sucht (david blackwell), hinhören!
the lovely eggs - have you ever heard a digital accordian
am 01.09. ist es dann für das neue bunnygrunt album soweit, "matt harnish & other delights" erscheint auf cd und lp, das duo aus st. louis performt perfekt ihre musikalische version aus twee und rock 'n' roll, am (gitarren-) steuer matt harnish, hinter der schießbude karen ried, die allerdings diesmal hauptsächlich für das songwriting und den gesang verantwortlich zeichnete. wenige vinylkopien warten auf die flotten käufer.

I can only take so much. You're probably the same way. For several days AFTER Christmas, you can still be assaulted with the holiday-themed music & muzak everywhere you go. Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's after Christmas, so Santa Claus can get the #%*&@! back out of town!

For those who would like some ammunition for firing back, I give you this list. There are three four basic types of songs on here:
1. Irreverent parodies
2. "Alternate" holidays
3. Neglected covers that should be played instead of the overplayed versions
4. Covers so cheesy that the listener might suffer a physical blockage

I leave it to you to decide which tunes belong in which categories. So, sit back, toss back the "hair of the nog", and spread the word to the muzak programmers: it's time to pack the holiday box up for another year. (And don't be so eager to break it out again next October.)
