hail the land of the free



Can I just say how out of sync it is that costs me the same amount (nay slightly more) to order an album and have it sent from a shop not five miles away from this very household than to gain two juicy full-length albums all the way from sunny Austin in the old U S of A. Madness. But thanks be to Peek-A-Boo Records who poked me with a gentle e-mail reminder of their incredible stock of musical treats.

I have now ordered myself up the twin delight of the following:
The Octopus Project + Black Moth Super Rainbow
- The House Of Apples & Eyeballs
Peel - Peel

Both a little later than I should have but I will never catch up with the multitude of music that's out there.


>> The Octopus Project

The Octopus Project are a band I fell in love with about this time last year with the catchily titled 'EEEAAASSSEEE BAAACCCCKKKKK'. Listen to more of their material at MySpace or check out their crazy website. Peel are a band new to me (yet more shame befalls me) but are damn fine and well worth checking out on their MySpace or indeed their own little site. Pay the good folks at Peek-A-Boo Records a visit purchase your own fine copies by clicking here.

Quite excited by the fact that The Octopus Project and The Black Moth Super Rainbow are playing together at SXSW at which - did I mention - I will be attending. God damn I will so surely be queuing up at that show. Yes, "show," this is what they call gigs in America I am told.
