We’re in cover mode again this Wednesday, 09/09/09, when we’ll be 

helping to cover the entirety of the Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs as part of

the opening night party for the 3rd Annual Boog City Festival. It’s going to take

13 bands to do it, starting at 7pm at the Sidewalk Cafe. We’d love to tell you 

exactly when we start our five-song Magnetic mini-set, but we don’t know. We’re 

figuring somewhere around 9pm. But you really should come and see the whole thing.

Or just come whenever you want. Roughly 58 of the 69 songs are good.

 

L’amour toujours, Stephin.

Matty and Cheri, reckless as ever, will be flying in from Brooklyn to play with the other members of Mark Bacino’s band as he performs his new album “Queens English” in its entirety.

But we fit the bill in our own melodic, harmony-laden fashion.

How do we link to you?) at Cake Shop (who do have one).

Hoffweiler, Todd Carlstrom & The Clamour, the Passenger Pigeons & more!

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.

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!
