Being Ernest: Sea Change by Fritz Liess


























A growing trend in popular music is for bands to cover entire
albums by other artists. For example, The Flaming Lips recently released a cover of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon.

Now, Santa Cruz, California alternative rock band Being Ernest has jumped on the bandwagon with their latest album, a cover of Beck's Sea Change.

Sea Change is the band's third studio album and their first
recording of work by another artist.

As with Beck's Sea Change, the album was released with four different album covers and hidden messages under the CD tray.

say you love me: love signs

























say you love me issues love signs just in time for Valentine's. There's nothing more romantic than a fantastic marketing ploy.

unindustry


























Moved out to the country to get away from you,
But you always show up, like Iago, like Javert,
To terminate the new, and ruined and running,
Called myself Jonah, but the name Ishmael will do

cheesdip: all party


























cheesdip gives us all party, music that doesn't drown out conversations with DEA and CIA and FBI, music that keeps on giving, even in federal court.

plate of grapes: The Burt Bacchus Tribute


























Lyre, cymbal, and shoe shine kit,
We eat the cheese of the ancients.

When you thought things couldn't get more adjusted,
You thought they had everybody paid off,
Busted!
