Daz-da-automata

Just a quickie, as I just came across some news that Minus the Bear are coming back to warm our ears again. For those that haven't had the pleasure Minus the Bear are a Seattle based slow indie rock outfit with some crazy guitar tapping action happening. January 2006 they unfortunately lost their keyboard player and it got some, including me, worried that they might loose it a bit. But sure enough they are to release an album sometime in mid August so keep ‘em peeled! I also came across this Maccabees track, a band from Brighton or a Jewish national liberation movement (you decide)? Nothing really to say about the Maccabees apart from the songs called Lego (yes!) and I really love the line “The boys chew Lego, and now we can’t build castles, or robots, cause the pieces don’t fit together!” such an intense metaphysical point [yup]
