Awesome

Seven suits from Seattle calling themselves "Awesome". Yes, they got a nerve. Their 2nd album Beehive Sessions is rumoured to be a celebration of pop, soul, jazz and all that. The band members play dozens of instruments and they all sing too. They write Beatles-que tunes with a big band dressing. More about them soon on HCTF.

Telephone is an upbeat pop song about the neurotic moments just before picking up the phone. Featuring a guitar/piano foundation, blue-eyed soulful vocals, and a breezy horn break, Telephone is a melodic snapshot of a tiny but awkward personal dilemma.

Curious? Listen and find out. Toll free of course:

DRIVE XV: A Tribute To Automatic For The People

Stereogum has posted a MP3 tribute to Automatic For The People, the R.E.M. album that was released 15 years ago.

We embarked upon Drive XV months before we learned R.E.M. would be releasing a live album (their first) the same month. The timing was fortuitous, however; it meant the band was in requisite promotional mode. Thus Stereogum was granted time to speak with Mike Mills, whose commentary on each Automatic track you'll see as you browse the mini-site.
