Some Singles We Heard (And Loved) at I Don't Hear A Single

Heels, Cabin, Dolls

It's always kind of strange (and exhilarating) to find our humble little blogchild listed on the blogroll of a site we hadn't yet encountered, especially one that's well stocked with excellent tuneage and written with facility and insight we do not display. Such is the case with the excellent British blog, I Don't Hear A Single, which is now firmly ensconced in our daily rota of exploration. Below you will find several favorites we discovered there, minus the excellent analysis and additional wealth of entertainment you will enjoy by visiting IDHAS. We'd like to thank Mr. Don Valentine for 'rolling and rocking us at his exemplary blog.


The Drywall Heels

Read about this Toronto band at IDHAS. We liked this one enough to buy it:



Red Cabin

Read on this New Yorker at IDHAS. And btw, our newish blogfriend Dennis did an excellent post on Red Cabin over at Poprock Record.


The Living Dolls

The L.A. band is featured here at IDHAS.

Getting sucked into Laika's Orbit . . .

. . . does not suck. Oh, no, far from it, quite the opposite, in fact. Through the good graces of the excellent new-to-us blog Poprock Record we found the excellent new-to-us blog Mufoandthings. And through the excellent Mufoandthings we found the excellent new-to-us New England band Laika's Orbit. Their name-your-price LP kicks off with our favorite song on No Matter What It Takes, "No Matter What It Takes," as you can easily see and hear.

Speaking - well, writing, actually - of the aforementioned Poprock Record, we highly recommend his cogent post, "Poprock versus power pop." If we could write so fluently and persuasively about music, well, we just might give it a try. Thus, we do not even.

Since they'll apparently be touring in August with Amherst, Mass. band California X and since we've bought, oh, a mutant handful (7) of C X's songs, we'll give you a widgie with one of our favorites. The rest of Nights in the Dark is also in the widgie.
