None of the Above
- It's quite a shame that the clean and easy-to-navigate World Party website, designed by Slender Fungus, hasn't been updated in the past year. The last new news about World Party, (which isn't really a band as much it is just Karl Wallinger and a revolving cast of characters..much like Destroyer) is that he/they toured Australia with Steely Dan in 2007 and are working on album that has been delayed indefinitely. Wallinger has been also been collaborating with French ethnic electronisists Deep Forest (no relation to the Crayola color Jungle Green), among others. No word on what's happening with the band I sometimes confuse with World Party, The New Radicals, either. World Party Ship of Foolsmp3
-Things To Do?: Am not such a big fan of Steve Martin the banjo player but I do heart Steve Martin the Comedian. And I'm a HUGE fan of the lowbrow, (and I believe that this is the politically correct term for his ethnicity..) Cornball-American Dave Barry. Decisions, decisions.
-The smoldering Josh Reichmann and the Oracle Band have done a cover of Deerhunter's Agoraphobia. The digital EP of his muy funky and acclaimed song Shivering Black came out this week, and can be bought here.

-Found in association with the World Party blurb above: Newbury Comics has all *koinds* of limited edition autographed CD booklets for that obsessive Vanessa Carlton fan in your life.
-Crocodiles are getting much buzz. A lot of bands use 'distortion' to give their music a contrived edge or maybe disguise a lack of musical readiness. Crocodiles are not guilty of any of the above.:
