My heart swims in a sea of devotion for you

I'm back in Atlanta ya'll! But only for a few days. I'm going back to New York on Tuesday. I should be getting a laptop this week. But even if I don't, I'm still going to try to get back into posting every other day or so. But don't hold your breath or anything.

Pretty Girls Make Graves uploaded a new song on their myspace page. It's called The Nocturnal House and it's great. They also have their new site up and HOLY SHIT I see new merch that I MUST have. Especially this:



I have this shirt, but mine has red on it instead of white, so I think I need this too.



Also Happy Birthday wishes go out to my favorite ATL frontman Jordan Jeffares who celebrated his 25th birthday this past week. Jordan and his band Snowden are going to Austin tomorrow to make a record. I can only imagine how awesome the music they make down there is going to be and I can't wait to hear it. But for now, I'll keep listening to Anti Anti and Like Bullets on their myspace page.

My other ATL favorites eNTERTAINME.nt recently put up a rough mix of the b-side to their upcoming single. It's called The Wasteland Horror (I think). You can listen to it here. Again I say, what would we ever do without Myspace?

I haven't been able to visit my favorite music blogs since I've been in New York, so I'm trying to catch up this weekend. It's probably an impossible task, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I noticed that Clever Titles Are So Last Summer recently posted about Piebald, and reading that post made we want to listen to their super catchy anthem American Hearts. But I couldn't find my cd anywhere. However, I did find my Go Sailor cd, which I haven't listened to in FOREVER, so that was just as good.

My friend Ariel was the first person to introduce me to Go Sailor. She loved their song Bigger Than An Ocean and suggested that I play it during one of my DJ shifts at WUOG. So I did, and I totally fell in love with it too.

Go Sailor was a twee pop band made up of members of Tiger Trap, Henry's Dress and Crimpshrine. They only released 2 EPs and some of their songs appeared on a couple of compilations. But all of their material was re-released in 1996 on their self titled record, Go Sailor (Lookout!).

Go Sailor songs have great melodies and all the cutesy love lyrics that you tend to hear in twee pop songs. If you're a fan of groups like The Softies and All Girl Summer Fun Band, you'll definitely dig Go Sailor. Their self titled release is great from start to finish, but the highlights for me are the songs I've posted below.
