This is the End...Or Is It?

If you're looking for FABOTH (and why would you, considering I havn't posted in months), I have joined forces with my brother to create an entirely new, more reliable, site. To check that out, go here. I'm also now a regular contributer to the WDUB music blog. For that, go here. Thanks for those of you that still checked back every once in a while. Be sure to check out the new site.

Hey! Whatever Happened to This Site?!

Hey all. The FABOTH website looks like it's heading for a big big change. My younger brother will be hosting a radioshow this fall down at Washington University in St. Louis, and it looks like we'll be combining forces to create one, hopefully reliable, music blog. More info as it becomes available. With the impending transition, I'm not posting anything new until we figure out what is going on. Stay tuned for more info!

I will be co-hosting again with fellow WDUB DJs Jon G, Josh Mankoff, and Pat Hunt. The show will start on Friday, May 4 at 7:30PM and run for 24 hours. Right now, here's a list of prizes we've got to give away (many, many more to come!):

Also, you may be noticing the new look for the site. Over the summer, the FABOTH blog will be getting revamped and pumped up. This is just a temporary template because I was bored with the old one.

Feist Videos

With Leslie Feist's follow up to Let It Die due out the first week of May, the Canadian BSS colaborator has offered up a few videos for "My Moon My Man" and "1234" off of The Reminder. We just got that album in today at the station, and so far, I'm loving it.

Choice Picks: Peel and Land of Talk

So college life got me down this week, but here's a post about some good stuff we got in at the station.

First up is Peel, a great band out of Austin. One review I read of them said they sound like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but I'd put them closer to Spoon than I would CYHSY. They describe themselves writing ADD fueled pop songs. Either way, definitely worth checking out. Recommended tracks: Oxford, Sliding Doors

The next band of note is Land of Talk. The sound and vocals remind me of a less polished Metric. This album will get you charged up and be stuck in your head all week. Recommended tracks: All My Friends, Speak to Me Bones
