MP3: SAY HI TO YOUR MOM "Snowcones and Puppies" "Blah Blah Blah" "Sad, But Endearingly So" "Angels and Darlas" ( SayHiToYourMom.com ) Either Say Hi To Your Mom just couldn't pin down a single track that represented their new album Impeccable Blahs or they're just plain generous. They are offering four more songs from the CD to freely download off the band's website. See [...]

The combination of being short on time and a brilliant band bio has led me to quote Say Hi To Your Mom instead of being witty and clever on my own: "Say Hi To Your Mom simultaneously defies and enforces physics. We're the mumbling in your head while you're crunching the numbers. We're the apparitions, ticks, gut wrenching, suspicion and glee too. We're the reason you rolled a nineteen for charisma, the cat's meow, your least favorite aunt." It's also worth noting that they don't like mom jokes, [...]

The New Deal are playing a show at The Mod Club on Friday Night and if I weren't just getting over a bad cold, I'd so be there. As Eye Weekly mentioned bassist Dan Kurtz is now living in the UK dedicating some time to his own band Dragonette , so The New Deal's shows in these parts will be less frequent. So, so, sad.

Recently, a few record labels have contacted me with music. That's cool. I'm happy to take a look at anything: your book, movie, magazine, comic book, whatever. I'll warn you upfront, there's no guarantee that anything will come of it. I like a lot of different stuff, but there's no telling what I'll cotton to and what will leave me cold. Today, we've got two songs that I liked. It seems like all the cool indie bands today come from places like Chicago and Brooklyn. When is the Wichita scene gonna [...]
Im heading over to the WOXY studios today to catch Brooklyn based Dirty on Purpose do their thing in the WOXY lounge. After they finish up Say hi to your Mom is gonna do the same. If you are able do your best to see both of these guys at the Southgate House tonight. Should be a great show as DOP is really a band making waves right now. Plus the show is only 8 bucks..... If you arent familiar, check out this post over at Donewaiting . [...]

Say Hi to Your Mom have one of the many releases coming next week. Impeccable Blahs is the fourth album from SHTYM and, well, it's all about vampires. As hokey as that has the potential for being - it works. To support the album they'll be touring all over the place for the next four weeks or so with a stop in the OKC at the Conservatory on 3August. [...]
New York band Say Hi To Your Mom will release their fourth full-length next week, Impeccable Blahs. This album may...

Say Hi To Your Mom has a new album coming out about vampires called Impeccable Blahs . Why is it about vampires? They'll tell you all about it on their FAQs page. You can also find out how to get them to write a song about you on the same page. Oh, and feel free to send them lot's of messages on Myspace . They seem to like that.

As promised last Thursday , this past Saturday night was another live music double-header with a bunch of bands in a "family" meme. First was an early show at the Drake with Toronto's Your Volunteer and Brooklynites Say Hi To Your Mom and then up to Lee's Palace for Ottawans My Dad Vs Yours and new local outfit Kids . We'll just go in order, noting that though it was amusing that three of the bands had similarly-themed names, that they're still all pretty bad band names. Sorry. [...]

This Saturday night offers an opportunity for the Toronto club-hopper to put together their own Korn-free Family Values tour. First up is an early show at the Drake Underground featuring Brooklyn's Say Hi To Your Mom and later that night Ottawa's My Dad Vs Yours are at Lee's Palace followed by a new local outfit I've never heard called Kids, but who claim some choice influences ( Mojave 3 , Belle & Sebastian ). Since I can't offer up any thoughts on them without having any any way to hear their stuff (not [...]

Say Hi To Your Mom are my new favorite band from Brooklyn. Starting out just a short four years ago, their new album, Impeccable Blahs is a tunefully inventive collection of geeky indie-rock that brings to mind a dizzying mix of Clap Your Hands/The Rentals/Pavement/VU and Canadian popsters Sloan. Led by Eric Elbogen, SHTYM are a cool pop band lying in wait of greatness. Angels And Darlas Sad, But Endearingly So [...]

Say Hi to Your Mom - Snowcones and Puppies. There's a bunch of men up on the roof today. They're using cranes to replacing the hot water heaters. It has something to do with new California codes. I just...

The 4th of July ... a day of fireworks, barbecues, Will Smith kicking some alien butt , and parades. A day we celebrate for giving King George the middle finger. In reality, the 4th of July, 1776 was only the day the Declaration of Independence was finished, not the day it was voted on and signed. It's kind of ironic that England is now one of the few countries who support the U.S. regardless of how insane our elected leader's policies are. Pavement - No More Kings : School House Rock! [...]

NASA gave the okay for today's launch of Discovery, despite a crack in the foam that insulates the external tank. If the launch goes as scheduled, today at 2:38 P.M. EST, it will be the first U.S. manned launch on the 4th of July. So, here's my 4th of July mix for this year, great for listening to as you watch the shuttle lift off. Some Girls - Launch Pad Elton John - Rocket Man David Bowie - Space Oddity [...]
