oh awesome!! hope it was a great show

hey, mandy =) I was listening to this band tangerine this weekend and they made me think of you - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPKQ7pOC0Ak the 'la da da' harmonies, kind of like la sera, or something. anyway, I hope life is treating you well. I miss addy. it seems like forever ago

Happy Birthday, Mandy! Growing up, though? Possibly overrated.

Interesting you prefer MM to WS, etc. Don't know how you feel about tribute LPs but thought you'd like to know about Futureman's Sloan tribute: https://futuremanrecords.bandcamp.com/album/if-it-feels-good-do-it-a-sloan-tribute .

Two newish ones from Matthew Melton: http://www.stillinrock.com/2016/01/matthew-melton-what-is-song.html Happy New Year to you.

Here's the first number from new Matthew Melton side-project, Pleasers. https://soundcloud.com/southpaw1/pleasers-reject-teen I also saw at Southpaw a 7-day-old Warm Soda song I hadn't seen before. https://soundcloud.com/southpaw1/warm-soda-no-place-to-fall Happy July.

Cool new one from Gliss: https://gliss.bandcamp.com/album/pale-reflections

Heard of London band Kid Wave? You might like. https://soundcloud.com/kid-wave Also, I noticed yesterday a second new Warm Soda song's been released. http://tellallyourfriendspr.cmail1.com/t/r-l-qkktdjt-pfdutkll-j/ That MOKB link's been a little balky, so I hope it works.

Yes, Beverly was love at first listen!

Have you heard this one by Bruising? It's been top of my pops lately. https://beechcoma.bandcamp.com/track/cant-you-feel

There ya go, Warm Soda right outta the box. Bravo! I did a post at Powerpopulist about Matthew Melton and some of his previous and future bands, including WS. (November 24, 2014 . . . I tried to include the link, but Last.fm seems to block Blogger links. You can click the URL at the top of my Last Profile and ignore the dire warning.) MM's OUTSIDE OF PARADISE is one of my favorite LPs of 2014. I also like some of the songs I've heard by one of his earlier bands, Snake Flower 2, a free downloadable of which is available at that same Powerpopulist post.

Thanks so much for the befriending. Your Tumblr site is fantastic. I've put it in the list of sites I check daily. (No pressure, of course. :D ) I'm looking forward to learning from you.

Hi!! I'm seeing them in Boston on Thursday!! I couldn't be more excited! Defnitely digging Commowealth, especially Jay's songs!

oh cool, yeah I didn't know about any of those other Eisley projects so I will definitely check those out! =] and the Pitchfork stream also, sounds good

hey Mandy, you must be excited for the new Sloan album!!! :D I like that "Keep Swinging". did you see there's a new Sucré EP? I like it too. anyway, I hope you've had a good summer

Your bio is great! :D

blugh ugh fughhhh

hi Mandy! :) it's great to hear from you! how have you been? any favorite albums from 2013?

Sloan.

alright, yeah. I started school last week!

sup, mand?

yeah same for me. it seems maybe not quite as accessible as their other albums but I think I'll like it after listening some more

hey Mandy, how do you like the new Eisley album? already 3 months since addy closed! hope you're doing well

the album opener, ' shit for brains ' really reminded me of ES

does that bored nothing guy remind you of ES at all?

Yes....

http://chainandthegang.bandcamp.com/ Apparently this is the other band Fiona plays in besides Coasting...

Haha, somehow I knew you'd notice that. And now I'm listening to Bayside. :P

http://seapony.bandcamp.com/merch Seapony t-shirts! :O

According to their Facebook, Vivian Girls are playing in Brooklyn on Feb. 15 with Widowspeak... hope this means more tour dates in the future.

For some strange reason, I woke up with "Candy" by Mandy Moore in my head...thought I should tell you.

Of course I don't have enough Sloan plays, I'll probably never catch up to yours. :P

Sloan Christmas song today! :O

I've been listening to lots of BYOP today. :D

Hey, I was just thinking of you. Hope your night is going well. :)

You should check out the album 'Orangefarben' by Sea of Bees...think you'd like it. She's from Sacramento, too. :O

I've just found this song, "The Indie Queens Are Waiting" by Dan Mangan... It's kind of sad, but I really quite like it. Thought you might, too. Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5RIHff3oas
