Thie new album is real good. If you like Club 8, you will dig it, it's basically the same folks I think using less electronics. It's called Monday Are Like Tuesdays and Tuesdays are Like Wednesdays. I have nothing to do with AHK, their label, etc.

Definately a quality record - in fact, I prefer it to the new Club 8 album.

three years pass...

i really like the cover of the album i just got in the mail. and i like that it comes with an instrumental disc for you to sing along to, but the music...eh...if i were being silly i would say that they make B&S sound like Manowar. But i'm not gonna do that. Teh tweeness has to hit me in the right way, you know? If I were being lazy I would say they were a cross between B&S and the Cardigans. But that would be really lazy. Just too fluffy. Very B&S-like though. Even naming a song "London School Of Economics" reminded me of B&S. You know?

they were around before bs though, so maybe bs is totally acid house kings? they also do the legends and club 8 so it isn't all bs related stuff. the release date was pushed back to september for some reason. they are very polite. how come when i see swedes at sporting events they are always yelling and screaming with face paint on but the bands are all(almost all) so placid?

the legends are so good. i need to hear more by acid house kings. was it them who did 'forgive & forget'?

Yes that was them.

Most misleading band name ever.

supposedly they had a ten year plan to make three albums? and this is the last album before the next ten year plan. so wouldn't that make their first album 1995? oh, god, i don't really care. i don't know what i'm doing here. the album isn't that great. but if you are really really jonesing for some twee, then they are your answer, i suppose.

are you trying to sound like amateurist?

three albums in ten years? lazy

seven months pass...

I just have to say that "Sunday Morning" is bloody wonderful. Nothing else I've heard by them is in the same class. Their album covers are all wonderful, though.
