I Want You To Know That I Love You, Baby...

Condo Fucks - What'chat Gonna Do About It?

Yes, this is indeed a cover of the Small Faces song. It's from the debut album by Condo Fucks (the same members of the band Yo La Tengo, different name) called Fuckbook. It's a play on the album by Yo La Tengo (Facebook) that consists mostly of covers, as opposed to this album, which is entirely covers.

And I love it.

As far as I can tell, three guys armed with a drum kit, a bass guitar, and an electric guitar sat in a basement, set up a microphone attached to a boom box, inserted a blank tape, pressed record, and tried to play 11 songs that they heard on the radio.

They did it all in one take (meaning that it takes you as long to listen to the whole album as it did to record it), and they did nothing in the way of production, so the quality isn't what one would call pristine, but I really really like it nevertheless. It makes me smile.

My favorite on the album is their cover of "Shut Down," by the Beach Boys. It's pretty magical. I couldn't find it anywhere online, so if you want it, feel free to holla at me.

And of course, if you want the whole album, let me know.


Anyhoo, I met someone this weekend who's last name is Woo. Yup. That means every time I see her, I can just cheer ("WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"). I'm sure she won't find it obnoxious at all.


Also, I'm legit upset about this. And not just because one of them is one of my Lions. But also, when was the last time you heard about someone being "lost at sea?" I didn't realize that still happened. I don't mean to come off like I'm just joking about this, because I mean, it's people's lives. So this really sucks. Truth.


Oh! Happier news! Tomorrow is my grandma's birthday. I wish that she knew how to use the internet, because she'd see this, and maybe I'd move up in the grandchild rankings (current position: 7). If only...
