[1] I didn't get to their site yesterday, so this is actually my first
hearing of it! "Y" is a nice letter, and "Yes" is a nice title. Makes me
think of Yoko Ono and her work and how she met John Lennon. "Outstanding"
didn't seem like a great title, but I did assume the x-mas card was a
tip-off, and that maybe the album was going to be made up of songs they had
written over the years and somehow never got around to producing. (On that
premise, I was hoping to finally see a release of "You've got to start
somewhere".)
[2] Make sure you guys don't miss the tasty remixes they put up lately--in
Product/Exclusive tracks--of the MGMT song "Kids". If "Yes" is arranged and
produced as nicely as these (and "German film star"), I am going to love it.
[3] I've been listening this season to "Love's a mystery" off Pretenders'
new album, and it keeps sounding like a song Neil Tennant could have
written. Tell me if you agree. If they are fans, they should cover it
sometime!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those partaking,
