On Thursday May 15, we’re putting our Radioheads on and covering three songs from “OK Computer” as part of a benefit for the literary journal Boog City (wait, do you really not have a website, David? How do we link to you?) at Cake Shop (who do have one). We and many of our literary-wannabe band friends will cover David Bowie’s “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…” and Radiohead’s “OK Computer” in order, starting at 7 pm. Randi Russo, Dibson T. Hoffweiler, Todd Carlstrom & The Clamour, the Passenger Pigeons & more!

We don’t smoke, but we can’t deny a great cigarette song, whether it’s Patsy Cline’s “Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray” or Oasis’ “Cigarettes & Alcohol.” It’s funny how so many of them focus more on the ashtray than the cigarette, but then again, a lot of our favorite love songs are actually about the breakup. So. Anyway. Here’s a cover of one of our favorite ashtray songs, Guided by Voices’ “Hey Aardvark,” which seems to be about neither the love nor the breakup, just the smoke.

In an effort to imagine what it would be like to participate in a crazy 21st century world where all media was easily accessible, searchable, discoverable, listenable and viewable, we’ve posted our first album, Sticky, for streaming here on our fancy-ass new blog website blog. Here it is.
In an effort to imagine what it would be like to make money, we have also decided to continue to make Sticky available at highly profitable locations like iTunes and Rhapsody. Listen where you will. But please listen!
