Party of Helicopters

Forgive me if this is old news to you but, WOAH DUDE! These guys were incredible. They were a band from the late 90s to early 2000s. My good friend Roy (who knows EVERYTHING about music) just turned me on to these guys last weekend and I feel like I've wasted at least 7 years of my life. I've got a fever for math rock and the only prescription is more Party of Helicopters. Yikes. Anyway, the song is "The Good Punk", it's from their last album in 2003, "Please Believe It". The whole thing is phenomenal. I'd suggest finding it. It really reminds me of things like Other Men, The Ladies, maybe Q and Not U. The vocals, at least, have a bit of a Rob Crow feel to them. Have ya a listen!

TGI Ugly Casanova

2 new Ugly Casanova songs from the upcoming 180 South documentary soundtrack. I can't wait for this to come out. I've been having dreams where I'm at school surrounded by people and I look down to find out I am wearing no clothes. Thank goodness for cliches. The teacher notices, turns into Isaac Brock, points to the door, says "Sha-shaw, sha-shaw!" in the voice of Dale Gribble, and as the whiskey bottle he whips at me hits me right in the face I wake up. I'm hoping maybe it'll come true one day. The DVD comes out on June 8th, the soundtrack on June 22nd. Check em out dawg!
