Hello, today is a special day everywhere- congratulate yourself.

We put up some new DODOS tour shirts in the boutique, in addition to Beware Of The Maniacs (their first cd) and the bundle pack of Beware and Visiter.  Cut Off Your Hands‘ EP Happy As Can Be is also available.  Also, check out this very cool, futuristic Widget that Sprint put up.  It has a lot of different things and information in one page.  You can watch FKr videos and stream whole albums on it… It kinda reminds me of Minority Report with a splash of Back to the Future.

Great news! Cut Off Your Hands EP “Happy As Can Be” is now available in the boutique. We also put up “Beware of the Maniacs”, the first album by The Dodos, as well as a combo deal with Beware and Visiter.  Now’s the time to buy- stocks are up a ton, no wait a second down terribly, no wait up again, no.....
Also, MTV followed around Passion Pit for a whole day at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York! Follow a day in the life of the band and watch the band play 2 songs too!

<--- Yo, scroll to #2 on our slideshow for the “Sleepyhead” video by Passion Pit.

Everything’s quicker when you go digital, right?  Like just the other day, I watched a movie on my computer that hasn’t even been made yet.  It’s can be that easy with music too!  Case in point, Cut Off Your Hands. The New Zelanders (Kiwis, as they are sometimes called) have released their first EP, Happy As Can Be, digitally right the heck now at places such as iTunes, eMusic, Napster and
Amazon.
But, I know I’m preaching to the choir here, digital ain’t the real deal, Evander.  You want something tactilly impressive, something your eyes can make love to- like Happy As Can Be in the FLESH!  Or better yet in CD form which we will have for you on OCTOBER 21!

If you are in NYC tonight, Fucked Up is playing for 12 hours straight- from 2pm to 2am.  A bunch of special guests will be coming through for the good times, including your man and ours, Tim Harrington of Les Savy Fav.  Read about it here and we’ll see ya there.
