When you have a really bad time, you get home too late and you feel sick, you get dumped or worse, you throw up, you have to spend time with Republicans… All of these things could make you wake up the next day and mutter to yourself, “Damn, Last Night Sucked.”
I don’t know exactly what happened to the Lawrence, Kansas band Baby Birds Don’t Drink Milk that inspired them to write a song called “Last Night Sucked.” Whatever it was, it seems like it doesn’t matter anymore because the band got a somewhat anthemic song out of it, and, perhaps, a record deal?
I’ve been jamming the track for months now, but just a couple of days ago I heard that the Fire Talk label, headed up by Trevor from Woodsman (yeah, DENVER), is putting out a BBDDM LP, “Skeletor and Me.” Clearly the song (and their others) turned some people on. You can pick it up here. The band will be around for CMJ. See them.

Months and months ago I came across Summer Twins on Myspace. I don’t remember how this happened but I remember thinking i’d stumbled upon a path that would take me somewhere great. I heard a few songs and communicated with the Riverside, CA duo a bit. And now they have an album, The Good Things. Check out these blissful sounding tunes on a Bandcamp page. And blissful and pretty they are. And oh so L.A., though my ears taste some Martin Courtney style guitar solos. Such a good, good thing.
“Crying in my Sleep” starts out with a pristine guitar ramblings and Chelsea and Justine’s intertwining badup badup’s. The song has a slightly melancholy tenor, but the delightful instrumentation and guitar textures, and the Twins’ vocals, turn it into a jam.
Unfortunately, the band is only playing shows in California. Let’s hope that changes soon.
