so it looks like there's a new Head of Femur album out, which is cool. I bet it's pretty kooky, especially judging from song titles like "The Sausage Canoe" and "Jack and the Water Buffalo." The review on All Music Guide is pretty positive too. They have one song available on their website, "Elliott Gould Is In California Split," whatever that means. But I like it. It's very fast and catchy and goes about 15 places. And there are 3 other songs on their Myspace page.

I also like the message at the top of their website:

"THIS IS A TEMPORARY SITE WE HAD TO TAKE DOWN OUR LAST SITE CAUSE IT WAS HACKED BY DUTCH FUTURISTS. NEW SITE TO COME IN JUNE.
WE LOVE YOU."

Strange. They're playing June 16th at DC9 with Architecture in Helsinki, which probably means there are going to be as many musicians as there will be people in the audience. It's a small place, and Architecture in Helsinki and Head of Femur are both octets. The other band playing with them, Dr. Dog, has 5 people according to their website. Their stuff is pretty good too, at least the 4 songs on the website. I think "ABC" is not so great, but I like the other 3. Pretty low-fi and what not, but they sound pretty fun.
