Ugliest album cover of the year. Contender, however, for best album of the year.

This album is FUNKY. Think !!! meets Tom Tom Club, with a little bit of Beck and New Order thrown in. Nothing wrong with that recipe. This is some serious summer soundtrack music. If you can get past buying an album that looks like it should be in a dollar outtakes bin, you'll be pleasantly surprised and rewarded with the music inside. NICE.

Anyone else loving this?

the only thing i've have by them is that EP 'S.T.R.E.E.T D.A.D.'

i enjoyed it, lots!

thanks for the heads up on this one, i just loaded it into my Rhapsody library.

it's tasty. i'm listening to it for the first time right now, and i'm loving it on the first listen. love that feeling.

Anxiety said:

yeah, love at first listen is a rare thing these days.

who is "Out Hud"??

I've been hearing good things. If I had any money, I'd buy it. There are so many things on my wishlist that I just can't afford.

So, how was your weekend Mr. Anxiety?

some cool kids in (i think) NYC who make funky new wave/rock/dance music. they share some band members with another funky NYC band called !!! (pronounced "chk chk chk") that i also highly recommend. if your dance music doesn't have enough kick to it, and if your rock music isn't funky enough, i'd recommend both out hud and !!!'s most recent albums to brighten your day. i still can't stop shaking my butt to !!!'s album, and now i'm gonna be playing out hud right after it.

this is definitely one to move to the top of your list if you like !!!.

my weekend was good. saw the documentary "wild parrots of telegraph hill" and geeked out at the pretty birdies, then today did my usual improv craziness at second city. then i got this new album and i'm currently rocking out to it.

et tu?

Just chillin' and watching cheap-ass old horror movies and celebrating my brother's birthday. Been helping my mom get ready for this month and a half trip she's going on. Worked out really hard yesterday and am paying for it today. Avoiding this cruel weather. Wishing I had infinite money so I could go buy cool cd's.

I find that the best members of the collective went to !!!, but Out Hud is still fun. Even if the vocals `on their new single are a bit strange. Anyone heard One Life to Leave yet? Here's a link: http://music.download.com...49391.html
