MAGIC         PORK

When I posted about Morningwood, I should have received a deluge of comments about how awesome that band is. I did not. I had two friends post comments basically telling me (if i may paraphrase) “well, they’re not the suckiest band I’ve ever heard”.

I’m left to assume that the rest of the throng of Magic Pork readers felt that it was so obvious how right I was that they didn’t need to chime in to echo that. In fact I think that will be my assumption with my posts going forward. But just so you know, I always welcome comments about my supreme rightitude.

So I’ll move right along and mention a couple other bands. These aren’t anywhere in the same league as Morningwood. But I think they sound interesting, have some catchy songs, and I love their names so I have to give them points for that.

Say Hi To Your Mom is mellower that I usually go for but I’m digging them. On their site you can download some full MP3’s. My favorites are “Let’s Talk About Spaceships” and “Yeah, I’m In Love With An Android”. The latter has a great line: “She beeps for me every time it’s time to go water the fern”. Also check out their bio page which is really funny.

Architecture in Helsinki has a pop sound, but it’s kind of… weird. I don’t feel like trying to describe it, just check it out for yourself. Song clips stream when you enter the site, and you can control them at the top right of the page. Plus there’s videos which for me always would play all choppy. “Do The Whirlwind” is my favorite of theirs.
