*---* HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINISTER BABIES *---* So being the proper Virginia boy, I trekked to Nissan Pavilion to see Dave Matthews play the other night. First off, I've never seen anyone so cocked while on stage before. Dave was glass-eyed and a bit slow in singing. They took about a one-minute break between each song for the first five or six. Of course, the wafting smell of pot didn't help either. I felt like I was at a Dead show. Nonetheless, it was fun anyway. I don't know if anyone has mentioned the Hang-ups, but I recommend them if you at all like P!O!P!. The lyrics are substandard -- then again after discovering groups like B&S and Trash Can Sinatras most lyrics seem inconsequential -- but the music is very, very catchy. Picked up the new Aluminum Group album a couple of weeks ago. I somewhat disagree with an earlier post regarding them. I don't think they quite sound like B&S. They sound a little like an early '80s new-wave (similar to Blow Monkeys) sometimes loungy/synth outfit. Very sensitive lyrics, perhaps that is the area of similarity with B&S that the person was thinking of. A couple of songs sound quite a bit like Magnetic Fields. Anyone hear the new Catchers album?
