Yesterday, while working our weekly shift at Crooked Beat, Jourdan and I had a bit of a High Fidelity moment. We put on the new Peter Bjorn and John, Gimme Some, and everyone in the store wanted some of that. We could have sold 5 copies if we had them in stock.
Sadly, the one behind the counter was not priced, and if it’s not priced, sorry buddy, it’s not for sale yet. You can probably convince Bill to sell it to you if you run in today to grab it. Anyway, I kept commenting on how poppy the album is and how I’m a sucker for that sort of thing. Another dude in the store remarked that is was very New Order. I didn’t get a chance to listen to the whole LP, but it sounded pretty decent, though not as good as Writer’s Block. Check out the track below and see what you think.

We also threw on Slumberland Records’ shady sweethearts Crystal Stilts’ Shake the Shackles in honor of the show this Friday at the Black Cat. If you haven’t seen Crystal Stilts live, don’t snooze on this. Since I’m in an allergy fog right now, and I really couldn’t say it any better than Crystal Stilts themselves, let their music convince you. What is not to love?
