Slow Runner

I'm going to let these guys sum themselves up, rather then struggle to write something that not only describes the band's sound, but comes across coherently (and, in doing so, probably fail miserably.)

this is what we hope our music sounds like: interesting, lyrical pop music shot out into space, bouncing around the satellites and getting mixed in with all their beeping and blipping. like if r2-d2 had an aching heart and a love for the noisiest beatles songs. ideally, if you took out the depressing lyrics and substituted in educational stuff about sharing with others and the states and capitals, you could sit down at a piano and have a classroom of kids singing along within minutes. that’s the idea anyway. weird sounds get added later. and then we get to play live and see if we can make every heart in the room burst with pent-up feelings. it’s a good job.
Now, I've taken that from the Slow Runner website. Well, I think that about sums up all that there is to be said.

02. Streamlined
03. Moody Suburban Teenage Love Song

Enjoy!

A Quick Apology, and some Tapes 'n Tapes

Yes, I realize there hasn't been a post in about two weeks. I'm working more then full time hours, and Ju is settling into a new job (and celebrating her birthday, which is today! So, if anyones reading this, they should take a second to leave a comment wishing her a happy birthday. *nods*). So, there are many apologies.

Unfourtinately, things don't look good for the next couple weeks. We're both starting school, and I, for unfathomable reasons, am keeping up working full time in addition to this. Yes, I know, I don't get it either. I think insanity runs in my family.

Don't give up on us just yet though! I'm going to be trying my hardest to start posting more regularily.

So, just because I can't post without some songs, here are some Tapes 'n Tapes songs for you:
01. Omaha
02. The Iliad

Please excuse the lack of fanfare around the songs. I figure that by now most people have heard of Tapes 'n Tapes, as they've made the rounds on the music blog circuit long ago (I'm just slow on the uptake, that's all.)

So, while you're listening to (and enjoying!) those songs, take a second to wish Ju a happy birthday, and maybe let us know what you'd like to see from WHYH, or what you wouldn't like to see (if you're that way inclined).

Again, my apologies!
