Everyone....check out UME (pronounced "OOO-May"):

They're originally from here in Houston but moved to Austin a few yrs ago & just put out
a badass CD
If you're a fan of Sonic Youth, Pearl Jam & alt./punk rock then definitely check them out!

This is one of their older videos, just so you know what they look like



although they recently got a new chick drummer

here's a track from the new album:



(I effing LOVE that bass line!)

REALLY loving the Beach Boys "smiLe Sessions" CD set.

Basically it's the album they never got to finish and has the original versions of Good Vibrations & Heroes & Villains, one of my favorite songs ever:

(you might remember it being in Fantastic Mr. Fox)



It's got some pretty phenomenal vocal arrangements. It even makes my daughter happy when we play it in her room

Brilliant!! I want to get this album.
