Annuals. The band with the name similar to how much we update our blog. Speaking of, we are so sorry but its been REALLY busy up in hurr, like reeeal busy. I have consumed so much coffee in the past two weeks that I'm dreaming about being drafted by the Yankees (I hate the Yankees) and shaking like an awkward 10 year old giving a presentation. So while kicking so much caffeinated ass at our big-girl jobs, we have neglected you, our sort of faithful readers.
So, since I still am that busy, I'm going to hit you with some short and sweet tunage today. Some old, some new, some just because it popped onto my ipod and I think you should listen to it also. Starting with Annuals here, a much blogged about indie band from North Carolina. They have a quirky sound a bit reminiscent of Ben Folds Five, a soft Anthallo sounding piano, and sometimes a quiet Grizzly Bear/Benoit Piolard thing going on (as in "Dry Clothes" off their latest album).
