Boy, you know, I don't think it's the intended purpose, but all this talk
about the new Elms sounding like OK Go's "Oh No" or Tsar's "Band Girls
Money" is making me want to check it out! That, and the whole move towards
more secular lyricisms...

FWIW, I feel the second Tsar album is one of the most
unfairly-villified-by-Audities albums of 2005. It's cool that it's not a lot
of people's cup of tea, and it's definitely a lot trashier and rougher than
the first, but it's most DEFINITELY still a power-pop album, just one that
owes a huge debt to The Stooges or '70s arena rock (I hear a lot of T Rex).
If you really liked the first album (and many people did), then "Band Girls
Money" is definitely still worth a try. It's also on eMusic if you don't
want to take a big risk on it.

Also, speaking of eMusic, which auditeers are on there? I am always digging
for more new stuff to check out and would love to friend some more people to
see what you've found. My handle is danabnrml9 (that's an "L," not a 1) in
case you want to friend me back. --J
