My latest musical obsession is now officially The Ditty Bops and probably will remain so for some time.

Remember that time we went to B&N and I really liked the music? Well, one of the bands in the text message that you sent to me was this one.

[bestjessicaever]

Side note: Oh and my friend Katey went on tour with them!

[powerrad]

Heyyyyy that's right! If only I had followed up then!

We have a pretty decent B&N here. Winkity nudge nudge.

Where can I find their stuff? Also, do you have a last.fm account too?

[powerrad]

Funny you should mention it, I've had one for awhile but never used it; my music player (AmaroK, for KDE [Linux]) reminded me about it by asking me if I wanted to automatically submit the tracks I play for recommendations and such. I'm on there as PowerRad, but I'm not sure the last.fm radio/listening engine has a Linux version. I'll have to check.

They're on the last.fm page I linked, three of their really good songs, at least; I've been downloading them willy-nilly with Limewire/Frostwire, but if you're going the legal route they've just become a bit more mainstream so iTunes is sure to have them.

I was hoping to get them for cheap on eMusic but it didn't have them unfortunately.

You are quite welcome! ;)

You HAVE heard "Sister Kate," right?
"Cause that one's the cutest.

[powerrad]

Yeah - it's definitely one of the poppiest, but I also really like There's a Girl (their "coming out" song), Walk or Ride, and my ABSOLUTE favourite, Pale Yellow.

[crazysillyme]

I haven't heard Pale Yellow yet.

Look, stereotypes!

[powerrad]

Pardonez-moi?

At first, I honestly thought Abby was a hip, metrosexual guy. It took reading about them to find out that I was somewhat wrong.

[penguinfairy]

Hahaha. Oh man, I got a few of their stickers at Coachella last year. They're interesting.
