It’s hard not to love the sublimely catchy tunes that pop and sparkle all over the latest release from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. And honestly, who can resist loving a band who chose an entire sentence for their moniker? {Quite a cheeky sentence at that}. Regardless whether you like their name, or lack thereof, you’ll most definitely want to give their latest disc, 2008’s Pershing (amazon), a try from start to end.

So far this year has been one massive success as far as indie pop has been concerned {recession or lack thereof not withstanding}. Great albums have been dropped so far by Frightened Rabbit, Mates of State, This Is Ivy League, Vampire Weekend, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, and the list could go on and on. This album is by far the better of the two that SSLYBY {their name is too long even for copy and paste} have released thus far and it makes me excited to hear what they’ll cook up next.

Not sure if you’ve seen yet, but congrats on making it onto the Hottest Blogs list on HM. I interviewed SSLYBY a few years ago and they are funny as hell. Anyway, congrats again!
Yeah, that’s what I meant. It was under Hottest Blogs on the right side. Regardless of why it’s there, it gives more people a chance to listen to the good music here, and to get exposed to your site. That can’t be a bad thing!
I don’t even now this group or singer… however I just wanted to congratulate you for the fine work that you do here you know I’ve got a project like this… but anyway I’m searching for new music and thanks for some music I just downloaded from here… If you go to my site… I think you wouldn’t understand a thing xD is in spanish… I’ll put you on my blogroll so the people can visit this amazing and wonderful site! kudos!
He’d be surprised to know you took Spanish in high school. Cumpleanos!
Anyway, still awaiting your 9/11 post. Hoping for some tasteful and classy songs about New York (because there aren’t any about the Pentagon).
I did a search on Hype for Andrew WK’s “I Love New York City.” I got nothing. Sad day.
I know it’s not your birthday… it’s just the only spanish word I could think of off the top of my head.
