Fun :: Benson Hedges (demo)

In 2006 I mistakenly got into two albums that ended up being important. One was Thom Yorke's The Eraser and the other was The Format's Dog Problems. Ultimately, Yorke's album gave me a new understanding and appreciation of Radiohead's catalogue and established something of a long-term relationship between the two of us. The Format album gave me six days of unrestrained joy, followed quickly by a

Geek Mix

Geek Mix From Wikipedia: "The word geek is a slang term, noting individuals as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly obsessed with one or more things including those of intellectuality, electronics, gaming, etc." Geek stuff seems to be 'in' right now, which is fine by me. I've been one for years, and a little social acceptance isn't a horrible thing, although I honestly don't care one way or the other. I'm also an unabashed Star Wars fan, and today's release of the Clone Wars is as good an excuse as any to [...]

Nate Ruess = far from forgotten

This is probably one of the happiest posts I've had the pleasure of throwing up! Here's why: Reason #1: It's my fellow whale in a cubicle-r's day of birth. Happy 25th dude. Reason #2: I just got wind today that the Format's Nate Ruess has indeed teamed up with some fellow music-makers, and their first bit of magic has finally surfaced! It was a sad day in February when we learned of the Format's demise, but I know that we here at whale in a cubicle have been anxiously awaiting whatever Nate [...]

Ex-Anathallo Dude Has "Fun"

Ex-Anathallo Dude Has "Fun" Anybody who isn't privy to Anathallo - the ex-Mt. Pleasant, MI indie-folk collective now living in Chicago and signed to mf'ing Antic...er, uh, maybe we're not supposed to say that yet - is seriously missing out. Some beautiful jams coming out of those kids (peep "Noni's Field" from the upcoming Canopy Glow for starters). We must admit that we were a little sad when we heard that multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost recently left the group to join emo-country band Steel Train (yikes), but we're a bit more excited about this "fun" [...]

Brand new "fun" from Nate Ruess of The Format

When Arizona intelli-pop band The Format broke up a few months ago , a little part of my heart broke. I loved those guys; the homemade "Format Sunny Supermix" is still a superstar on my car radio, all summer every summer. Well, hooray hooray for some good news before this summer ends: lead singer Nate Ruess has a new band, called simply " fun ." Strike two on the not good for Googling, guys. They're trying to undermine my whole system of band data gathering. Subversive. [...]

Featured Band: Fun

Supergroup alert! Fun recently announced its existence, and its ranks include members of personal favorites The Format (Nate Ruess), Anathallo (Andrew Dost) and Steel Train (Jack Antonoff). See, that sounds like a supergroup, doesn't it? Not only did Fun tell us all who is involved in the merry-making, but the band announced that it will accompany Jack's Mannequin on tour in the near future.

The Perch Mix CD’s Vol. 3 - Love

The Perch Mix CD’s Vol. 3 - Love I just watched Be Kind Rewind. I'll let you know what I thought this weekend or on Monday. But I haven't posted another Perch Mix CD from the Christmas present I gave my aunt in a while. So far there's been Happy and Orchestra. Today, there's Love. Find the one you love, put on this mix, and let them know how much they mean to you. And I guess this is as good a time as any to announce that I'm once again taking applications for a girlfriend.

Goodbye to the Format

Heather noticed that the Format are disbanding (the post on their myspace blog says it was amicable & everyone is still friends). This is sad news; the Format was an excellent pop band and they put out two great albums, chock full of pep and handclaps. If you've never given them a chance, well, no time like the present!

[News] The Format Break-Up

[News] The Format Break-Up Being the socially adept animals that we are, most of us know that breaking up over the internet or a text message is unacceptable and cowardly. This rule doesn't apply to musicians though. Nope, they're too intimidated by passionate fans to tell them face-to-face. Instead they'll opt for the combination of text and well placed punctuation to explain the break-up in one concise mass message. Sadly, another band has gone this ill-fated route the young and talented Format . Learning via the band's MySpace site and a quick notice from [...]

The Format Call It Quits

The Format Call It Quits While I have not posted about them much in the past couple months, any person who has been a regular reader of HSB knows that one of my absolute favorite current bands is Arizona's pop-rock act The Format . They released two stellar albums the past few years and even had a free giveaway of their last album to anybody who wanted it, in a move that has put them to the forefront of the new models of music industry money-making which few bands can replicate. So it is terribly unfortunately that I [...]
