Since Joe and Jason have been doing such a good job making up for my slack lately, I feel a need to state what's usually the obvious...It's Kate. I've been a little overwhelmed with the onslaught of school work, and will be back to posting more consistently once I get into a routine.Lately I can think of a band I've spent more time obsessing over than the Triangles, who hail from Australia and make truly delicious bubblegum pop. "Will It Float?", from their newest release, Seventy-Five Year Plan, has gotten a little bit of blog attention, but the song I've found myself listening to is "I've Had Eyes for You" which imitates a dialogue that goes something like this:
I've had eyes for you for most of the yearAnyway......
...Well actually that explains a bit
You never know
...I am oh so oh so slow

The Triangles - Applejack [alt link] [highly rec'd!]
(this song is disgustingly cheerful, but I'm pathetically in love with it.)
Bonus: Modest Mouse - Long Distance Drunk
Labels: artist profile, triangles
Give TGH a thumbs up!
These guys are great. Kind of like The Partridge Family meets The New Pornographers. I could totally picture them redoing that Coca Cola theme song from the seventies.
Thanks !
applejack sounds just about how it should taste.
