Chuck, me, Dommi, Benny and Nikki.

 

As longtime fans of both BreakThru Radio and Grooveshark, we were doubly honored to film a BreakThru Radio Hear and There session IN the Groove Shark offices in NYC!  Domenica, Chuck, Nikki, Benny and me played a quite tricky but wonderfully inventive (thanks to BTR!) acoustic version of  ”We Will Never Be Discovered.”  Playing in four different rooms at the same time isn’t easy.  But it makes for an awesome Hear and There session!

 

 

Thanks to our new friends at Groove Shark for hosting, Jeremiah McVay and his crew from BreakThru Radio for filming, Paper Garden Records for putting it together and Mick Lewis for being Mick Lewis!

Thanks to everyone @ Band of the Day!

“Sounds like a show tune, about getting older and meeting the girl of his dreams, drinking, doing drugs.”

 

Next stop…Broadway!

“Lines like Ben’s commentary about his boss’s opinion of his in-office romance ‘I don’t care if he’s stern, his new wife is my old intern.’  Fucking spot on.”

 

Indeed.  Thanks, RT!

Tomorrow’s Playlist not only featured “The Tallest Man in the World” on its 12/28/11 playlist but headlined its first 2012 playlist with “Dum Dee Dum”!  

They even said nice things like,

 

“The City and Horses have been making music for a bit now in NYC and have put out a bunch of good stuff.  Although they “never want to be discovered”  this is a band you will not be able to  keep in your pocket forever.”

 

What a way to kick off the new year!  Thanks!

Boy, oh, boy!  2011 is the year to be flattered!  Here’s some (OK, all) of the year end accolades we’ve received from some of the most awesome music blogs around!

 

The Owl, who-who have been insanely nice to us this whole year, named “We Will Never Be Discovered” as their #1 music video of the year!

 

The Sound and the Furry gave us some beautiful bearded love by naming the video for “We Will Never Be Discovered” its #2 favorite video of 2011!  And to top things off, I think they said WWNBD was their #2 favorite song of 2011 (though I’m not quite sure)!

 

 The Dadada put “We Will Never Be Discovered” as 13th in his top 20 songs of 2011!  Some fine company, indeed! 

 

Chaotisch und Charmant, Brazil’s finest purveyor of indie-pop, listed “We Will Never Be Discovered” as its #6 Top Album of 2011!

 

The Metaphorical Boat, who’s also been super nice to us this year, put “We Will Never Be Discovered” in its Top 40 Songs of 2011!

 

Jeremy from Jeremy’s Indie Music put “We Will Never Be Discovered” in his Top 30 Album Discoveries of the year!

 

We’ve also been featured in Best of 2011 playlists for I Land Music and Sound of Us!

And some extra special thanks to WXPN’s New Music Mondays, Mike Vasilikos and Bruce Warren for all the nods and plays!

 

Thanks, blog buddies!
