Very pop! Roger Manning from Jellyfish arranged some of the songs. Check out a song called, "All the Pretty Girls". I think you can hear it on Amazon.

My daughter is a big fan of fun. . Very Happy

I've got their debut cd and am looking forward to listening. I love "At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used to Be)" and have had it as my Song of the Day recently.

They're my friends on MySpace, and Andrew Dost, formerly from Anathallo, is also, individually. Jack Antonoff, from Steel Train, is great, as is Nate Ruess, who was in The Format.

Totally pop.

My daughter is going to see them at Spaceland in Silver Lake, California tomorrow night!!!

Per, what's your spin?

Well I've had this album for a while now and I can say it's friggin awesome. As much as I liked it initially, it's grown on me with repeated listens (which there's been a lot of). I'd urge everyone here to check it out. They're my new Jellyfish, and that's saying something!

My daughter is going to see fun. twice, next week.

Yes, Max, the album is solid. I'm diggin' it, too! Had a song of the day by them, recently.

Why thank you, Jeffie T! Yours is a complement that means much to me, considering how strongly I feel about music and how much happiness it brings to me.

I'd love to see them live but it doesn't look like they're coming my way anytime soon.

I like how every song on the album really grabs you after a while. When I first got it, I was stuck on "All the Pretty Girls" and "The Gambler" but then "Walking the Dog" and "Barlights" jumped out and by now, I've become addicted to pretty much every song.

Max you fiend, I was trying to avoid buying any cds for a while, and now I just had to go and nab this one (used of course) after all the raving. It better be good mister Wink
