Had a great weekend.  Went camping in Sloatsburg……ah, good ole Sloatsburg….wait, is that right? (someone help me with this one)  Also corrupted more kids with a 4 am Coney Island excursion again this weekend.   We trekked all the way out there only to miss what could have been an amazing sunrise because we realized sometime around 6am that we were basically sitting in a cloud.  Still there was something calming and tranquil about sitting on a life guard chair staring out into the ocean and listening to the waves crash while surrounded by fog.  What wasn’t cool was the amount of red bull I had to consume the next day to appear remotely conscious.  All in good fun, and well worth it.  maybe.

Electrelane is a band from Brighton, England that Trevor turned me on to. They were formed in 1998 by Verity Susman (keyboards, farfisa organ, lead vocals, guitar, saxophone, clarinet) and Emma Gaze (drums). Nowadays, the band is composed of these two plus Mia Clarke (guitar, backing vocals) and Ros Murray (bass).  The last 2 records were recorded by Steve Albini, but Im not sure if he was involved with this one.  These tracks are from their latest release, ‘No Shouts, No Calls’, released April 30, 2007 on Too Pure.
