There has been considerable buzz around Takka Takka, the New York-based band that I’m sure has been getting a lot of airplay at your favorite indie hotspots. I really love “Coco On The Corner”. I haven’t heard a song with Coco in the title yet that I didn’t like and this one is no exception. It does remind me of a certain band that claps their hands and says yeah, but sung/spoken by a very happy Lou Reed-type singer. Then I learned that they’re friends with said hand clappers and that they’ve had some hand in Takka Takka’s debut album We Feel Safer At Night that came out yesterday as well, so it’s no wonder that there are some similarities. They make smart but pretty indie pop with solid catchy tunes. Thank you New York!
Oo, have I mentioned that you can download their excellent EP Fall Apart Art from their site for free?? Go on you, get your grubby little hands on it. Mmm, free stuff.
Oh and for God’s sake visit their myspace already.

On a whole other note, since I will be hiding from Da Man the next few days (yeah, I’m going on vacation), my totally bitchin’ partner in crime will take over my spot next week. Thanks Bean!
