Au Revoir Simone | Oh No! Oh My!/Sydney Confirm (Rubber Gloves)
Until like an hour ago, Au Revoir Simone was one of those blogger friendly bands that I pretty much just ignored-- in my mind, cute pictures + stereogum + Brooklyn= blow me, and I didn't see why this band would be any different. But having taken the time to listen to Au Revoir Simone's songs today, I have to say that I probably should have given them a chance initially. A lot of their music kind of has a dreamy Beach House feel to it with touches of Stereolab, 60's girl group, Joni Mitchell, Jon Brion and classic psychedelic pop mixed in as well. And with Austin's Oh No Oh My opening (another band I feel like I'm supposed to hate but don't), I might consider going to this thing. Locals Sydney Confirm are probably a bit too derivative of bands like Of Montreal at the moment, but they sound like they might have the talent to break out into their own thing. Pretty decent show all around.

Audio recording of Oh No Oh My and Au Revoir Simone will be uploaded to www.thingschrisrecorded.com in a few days.

Wow, I never expected to hear about Self again, let alone here. I just picked up a copy of Subliminal Plastic Motives again about 6 months ago. I checked him up on myspace, and was glad to see he was still doing things. cool to see other people liking them/him.

Heather! It's Mike from Shiny! Yes... the first time I heard sElf was when I reviewd Subliminal... for a newspaper. Loved them ever since. I only have Subliminal, Breakfast, and Gizmo... I know there's a lot of other stuff out there that I haven't heard, which I would love to check out.

You know, AshCro from Record Hop is a big fan as well, annnnnnnd Glen Farris went to Middle Tennessee with him. I never tire of listening to sElf!
