Last night was an interesting show. I think I forgot how to use all of the equipment in the studio for a few minutes in the beginning, but I pulled it together after that. Definitely not one of the better shows that I’ve done, but I guess it was acceptable.

I played a song by this cute sounding pop band called Hello Seahorse! It was pretty great and incited some serious bopping around the studio. I gave the whole album a listen at work this morning and really fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I’m not feeling the same way about the Let Me Run album. I like it, but the more I listen to it, the more I feel like it would have been something that I would have been in love with in 1999. So really, it just reminds me of the stuff I used to listen to in high school and early college, I guess. Still worth checking out though if you’re into the whole New Brunswick sound or bands that sound like Hot Water Music.

I wish that I could have played something from this Cheap Girls album that I just downloaded a few days ago. It’s called Find Me A Drink home and is pretty much awesome from beginning to end. It sounds a lot like the Smoking Popes, only more consistently rocking. This along with the Thorns Of Life stuff is probably the best stuff I’ve gotten in a few months. I’m really all about both of these bands right now. Anyway, it’s available for free from Quote Unquote Records. Check it out!

And here’s the playlist from last night’s show…
