    We (Kat and me) salute the first ever KTCC Double Pander as im6 is indulged with a gigantic Beach Boys tune to back up the announcement yesterday of Brian Wilson’s new album. This Shameless event is second over to adjusting your footballs and blaming a kid that had to go potty.

    im6 as you bask in the sun of southern texas, and the Kat double pander, we salute you, your Bette Midler discs, your VHS copy of Beaches and hope that all your Super Bowl Squares come up winners

    Happy weekend my/our friend

    Just listen to that song. How can you deny that it is simply beautiful? Nothing Brian could do today will ever compare to a tune this captivating — a tune that captures my youth like few others. And, yes, I have been basking in the sun and am about to go take a nap in the sun. I feel like Fern.

      im6,
      I had to decide which one to post, and this, after the storm we’ve had, seemed perfect.

      Fern would be joining you in the sun. She loves to bask.

      Have a most wonderful nap!!

    im6 and Kat, while we glide through the double pander, there is one band that I have to see this year and that is Real Estate. Why ? they are just bloody marvelous

    I remember you talking about them a while back and I listened to the album and, honestly, wasn’t that impressed. I wasn’t UNimpressed, but nothing about them really grabbed me. Maybe I need to give them another listen. If I remember, they were kind of “jangly” in a mid-90s sort of way (usually something I like), but I didn’t hear anything that made me remember them either. Reviews on Amazon are pretty good, so you’re not alone in your opinion.

      Im6, I hope you enjoy the video

      Notwithstanding my forthcoming date with Barry Manilow, I am thinking about bands that I really want to see this year. I would automatically go out for The Eels or The Magnetic Fields or Beck but there are some I have never seen and Real Estate is one of them

      Yes, I have seen Brian Wilson both with his chums and on his own

    So, Hedley, I’ve been listening to Real Estate again and I haven’t changed my mind (I can take ’em or leave ’em), but they DO remind me of some other group or groups. Who might those groups be? Can you think of who compares? Definitely mid-90s.

    Full album, minus one song here:
