musical faux pas

I put a whole bunch of new cds in my car when I got them a couple of weeks ago. I have been listening to said cds pretty regularly. I'm listening to one, and I'm like oh, right this is Louis XIV. Hey, this is really good. However, it kind of sounds like the faint. Weird. I listen to it some more. I come to the conclusion that this band is a small rip off of the Faint. I also notice that the cd kind of changes direction after the first two songs, suddenly there's girl singing. But I remembered that the Louis XIV does have a girl, so no biggie.

I go to put a cd in my player this morning, and notice that the Louis XIV cd is in it's case. Wait, so what the hell is in my car?! Turns out, I decided that the "rip off of the Faint" band on that cd, oh, just happens to BE THE FAINT. Whoops. Turns out that's my Saddle Creek mix cd and the songs that I thought were oddly faint-ish, where that way because it was the Faint. Doh! But I do have a saving grace, the Louis XIV cd does indeed change directions after a couple of songs, and then add a girl - so at least in that way they are similar. But still.



This totally just shipped. And it's not supposed to be out till tomorrow. Amazon OWNS MY SOUL. Hopefully this album is as good as Transatlanticism - they moved to Atlantic records, and sometimes big records spell death for indie bands. We shall see. I have high hopes.
