Welcome back on this Monday. For being a Monday it has been suprisingly good so far. I am starting off this week with a new feature on "In the Congo", Band of the Day. Today's Band of the Day goes to Ivy. Ivy is a fine band that you can now find a link to in my "Listening" links. Nice Inde Pop with a female lead and catchy hooks. I have always been a sucker for female vocals, but the layered guitars and occasional use of horns make this a stand out. If you like Beth Orton or St. Etienne, give this a whirl. Check out "The Best Thing" on "Apartment Life", one of my favorites.
I am enjoying my new office. I have achived a whole new level of slacking that I neve thought was possible before. Plus it has been a lot of fun to decorate. Everyone keep sending comments, I enjoy them. Thanks to Carlos and Jenny, good to hear from both of you. Remember to spread the word, the world needs more Congoites. Till tomarrow...
