So apparently because I mentioned local band Tapes 'n Tapes a few weeks ago and Google picked it up, some of their fans have been wading through eight pages of Google results to find out who's mentioning the band. I'm getting several of these hits every day, which is sort of ridiculous. Some of these Tapes 'n Tapes apologists have even been declaring the band the greatest thing ever and mocked me for even thinking negative thoughts about them. That's some straight up Death Cab sty fanboyism. I feel sorry for the band though; they seem like the light-hearted sort that start bands just to have fun. And sure, looking back, I guess I do sound like I'm some sort of anti-tapesntapes zealot, but that's not even close to what's going on. I don't hate em, they're just not that great. They're not Cowboy Curtis bad. They're not Matt Marka bad. They're not at all Fiery Furnaces bad. They're just a slightly better-than-your-average-bear stroll down PFM lane. There's much worse things a band could do. Especially if they don't even take themselves seriously.
So here's some albums I've heard recently that I care to mention. I haven't heard anything too new in a few weeks.
