yeh - im home today after cutting my damn finger open so i can barely type -
but i couldnt resist saying something about one of my favorites, the kicks.
check out thekicks.net - however, hello hong kong is not as good (a couple
new songs and different order) than their previous album, technically called
"radio" but also looks like a s/t - my favorite album of all TIME - freaking
amazing stuff. oh man. i saw the mir video late one nite and was hooked -
the orig album is orange with a girl on it - and the ashtray babyhead stuff
is great too. im obsessed with this band.
i wish them luck. back to my bleeding finger.
take care all
and dont try to catch falling glass while doing dishes

Ashtray Babyhead (good move finally losing that moniker).

punk stable of releases.
> Here is what All Music has to say about Ashtray Babyhead:
> Formed in the late '90s, alternative pop/rock quartet Ashtray Babyhead
plays radio-friendly punk-pop tunes along the same lines as Weezer and the
Get-Up Kids. With the help of producer Barry Poynter (the Adventures of Jet,
Zao, the Juliana Theory), they recorded the punk-pop fueled O-Rama,
distributed by Valmar Records in 1997. Their subsequent independent tours
led to shows at the CMJ and ASCAP showcases in New York City, Nashville, and
SXSW in Austin. In the spring of 2000, Ashtray Babyhead returned to the
studio to record their sophomore album Radio, a shift to a more pop-oriented
version of their brand of rock & roll. After touring the West Coast, the
band (Scott Cook, Jeff Matika, Ryan Scott, and Josh Faulkner) secured a
contract from Glue Factory Records, which released their second album in
October 2000.
