Hello Radio is a new collection of covers of They Might Be Giants songs featuring bands like OK Go [OK Go are opening for Snow Patrol in March.] and The Wrens, Frank Black and Jason Trachtenberg [will be seeing him perform with his family in December.] – so good – lots of alterna-mellow rocking covers. Does not feature the cover of Kiss Me, Son of God by Israeli band Pollyanna Frank on their rarities CD Nadir in Hebrew נדירים [a play on words since in hebrew Nadirim is rarities, in English nadir is the lowest point.]
Mellow and good is also the new Nickel Creek best of CD/DVD. A continuation of my newfound Chris Thile fandom. Plus his bandmate’s voice is a bit Duncan Sheik-like – yippy.
