Been a bit obsessed with Miaow these past few days, but am sadly without any youtube videos to reflect this fact. If anyone out there finds one (or 12) post em' up to our brand new Hungry Beat! fan page on Facebook!

Until then, I suppose this will have to do...

Maybe Tomorrow... Maybe Someday...

I own exactly one El Record. It comes from Momus, it's called Circus Maximus, I paid about seven dollars for it at Amoeba and I cherish it with all of my heart. Every time that I go to any record store I search for any and all El Records in hopes that such luck will befall me again. One of these days...

For now, here's one of the coolest songs ever from a band who was loosely tied to the El Label through sister label Cherry Red. It opens Too Good to be True: The Very Best of El Records a CD retrospective that was incidentally released by Cherry Red.



P.S. Hungry Beat! is a week from Saturday, maybe, just maybe a Bad Dream Fancy Dress record, or at the very least a nifty El Comp will have just fallen into my lab sometime before then...
