bishop allen! again!

Aw crap, I just spilled hot tea on my pants. And my white shirt. And ... all over the place. This is after getting only a few hours' sleep last night, because I couldn't sleep, for no apparent reason. What the hell is wrong with me?! I'm starting to think that I never recovered from having to go back to school in September, despite being a cubicle drone now. Those Staples commercials come on and I just kind of freeze and whimper.

Anyway, I should have known Brooklyn band Bishop Allen would remedy those late-summer blues. They've been putting out some fun EPs since the beginning of the year, and the July EP is available for order. July contains this song.

Bishop Allen - Click Click Click Click.

It's almost too adorable, right? But it's not too adorable; it's exactly as adorable as it needs to be. That's kind of how Bishop Allen works, and I'm not sure how they keep pulling it off.

I know I keep posting about this, but I really have no problem continuously promoting Bishop Allen, so you'll just have to bear with me. These EPs have been great, from Corazon (on January) to The Same Fire (from June), which I featured a couple weeks ago.

You can order July, and all the other EPs, from Bishop Allen's website.
And be sure to catch them live, especially you Boston folks - they'll be at the Middle East on the 22nd. (God, I miss the Middle East...)

Watch the hot tea, my friend. It's funny, I read lots of posts about Bishop Allen, but I don't even remember what they sound like...such is the short-attention span theater of the internet.

Hey Benjamin,
Yeah, fair point, I'll give it a rest for a while. Perhaps that would help me not spill stuff anyway.

Ya know what? You can post about Bishop Allen all you want 'cause tracks like "Click Click Click Click" invoke that kind of obsessiveness where you just want to listen to it over and over again until you find something else to get feverishly stuck in your head. I dig that (only if it's a good song like this one, of course). Thanks for the post.

Benjamin,

Correction: Mark is adorable. Get it right.
