we gots snowfall in the triple digits.
dirty on purpose has posted an entire live show from boston (also my city of birth... swell town) AND they have put out a quite-good new album, Hallelujah Sirens, on North Street Records. Very reminiscent of those product-of-New-Zealand Flying Nun bands, and specifically the Bats/the Clean. Indie rock on the lighter side, done right.
"Lake Effect" is my personal favorite (not in the live set, sorry), it's got that pining violin; skimpy, sad-but-not-sappy piano, and actively encourage citizens of my fair city (albeit non-specifically) to leave for more moderate climes. It's not our fault Lake Ontario bullies us with frequent "squalls" (what makes a snowstorm a squall? better yet, how can I earn the title of "squall"?).
"The larger cities in the region with a significant fetch when the wind is from the west are Akron (47"), Cleveland (61"), Grand Rapids (71"), London, Ontario (83"), Buffalo (96"), and Rochester, New York (100"). "
