Sometimes, you feel fooled and tricked for no good reason.
Today's trickery involves music of the indie nature.
A while back, a friend of mine turned me on to The Postal Service. I love their album and listened to it again, and again, and again. MetaDaddy's favorite trick, but not really mine. So this album, Give Up, is a favorite indeed. But they haven't come out with a second, so I've had to settle with nothing new for a while.
My favorite radio station, KCRW, tends to play a great variety of music. I kept hearing this one band and thinking "they came out with a new album!!" only to find out that it wasn't The Postal Service, but some other band called Death Cab for Cutie. So they've grown on me, even though they still confuse the bejeesus out of me.
Get this, my friend just realized that the lead singer in both bands is Ben Gibbard. That's right, the same person...both bands...singing. Ugh!! No wonder I was so frustrated!!!
I'm annoyed, but relieved to know that I'm not crazy or paranoid. Well, not crazy. Well, at least...
Whatever, they tricked me. And I can still claim the pregnancy hormone card, so I deserve an apology!!
I'll be here when you're ready, Ben Gibbard.

If you listen to Give Up long enough you'll notice that the opening bleeps are seemingly used as background music on every commercial on TV! It is a great album, though.
Just FYI-- if you want to check out the new Death Cab for Cutie album(think it's called Narrow Stairs) Amazon.com has the MP3 on sale for $5 through Monday.
Wow...that's a great deal. Thanks for the tip :-)
