DEÄTHMÜFFIN UPDATE: THE GREATEST SONG EVER ABOUT BANOFFEE PIE

It’s been awhile since Banäna Deäthmüffins have made it into a studio. We did a little touring, but when we got to the states, the van was attacked by a buffalo who then sued us for damages, and that was the end of that tour.

Anyway, there’s some more traveling in our immediate future, and we know you can’t get enough BDM in yr diet.

So, by popular request, we stopped by the legendary Ultrallama Studios to write and record the best song ever about banoffee pie.

Earworm!

( And the words go like this ... )

It is tasty, no?

LISTEN TO IT #47: THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE FOR ME

I’ve been neglecting this series, I know. But then it’s been a pretty slow year for me in terms of new music. I haven’t heard too many new bands doing anything interesting, and some new albums by old favorites haven’t really managed to set my world on fire. At least not yet.

Anyway, here’s one of the more pleasant discoveries so far: Best Coast, who are very much about jangly 60s California pop.

Their new album, The Only Place, is out now, and I have to say I rather like it.

When it really works, it sounds like Neko Case fronting Let’s Active (or some other IRS band). On the other hand, their songs tend to be variations on the same theme musically – indeed, on the new album, many songs are not only in the same key, some use pretty much the same three chords in the same order (something not even The Raveonettes did).

Still, if you listen to them as singles out of context, they're quite nice. And it’s hard to dislike a band with a song this peppy.

Born with sun in our teeth and in our hair,
