The Carps - New York Lights / Songs About New York

Oh snap!  The Carps dropped new jams last week and I missed it.
See?  This is why I had to get on Twitter.

The Carps are just incredible.  "Songs About New York" gets instant That's My Jam status.  Even with that autotune.  It's The Carps, so I can be lenient about these things.  What good are my principles if I don't dismiss 'em whenever I see fit?

Side note:  It took me 20min to realize that this was different artwork from the last set of jams.

THE CARPS ARE BACK!!!!!!

YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Wow, when they said "a year off", they actually meant a year off!
In fact, it's been 364 days since they made that announcement.  Can't tell you how happy this makes me.  If you're new around here or unfamiliar, The Carps are my Favorite Band That No One I Meet Has Ever Heard Of.  I REALLY want these guys to be successful, however they define that.  Good people, great music, incredible creativity.

About 15min ago, they posted links to 2 new jams on Facebook.  I am absolutely giddy.

::20min of personal recovery time::

I literally feel sick.
The best band you've probably never had the pleasure to experience, The Carps, say they are taking a year off.  In other words, it's a wrap.
First Bloc party...now The Carps.

I'm gonna go drink through lunch and weep like and old southern woman at a funeral.
WHERE ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO GET SOCA-INFUSED POST-PUNK???

Ugh.
I even remember the joy of shit-talking with Jahmal a couple summers ago after NY kicked the shit out of Toronto FC. 

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????

Join me below for some (short-lived) greatness . . .

The Carps - It's raining In The Projects, But It's Sunny In Africa

GASP!!!!
I am so ashamed!

A new jam from my favorite, under-appreciated entity in all of music was released, and I didn't know about it immediately. I'm slippin'.

I will not rest until The Carps are bigger than...Thai food...or organic vegetables.
Yes we can!

LeLe - Breakfast

The Carps posted this on their blog last week.
I have one question: Is this the greatest song ever recorded...or just Top 5?

Your Plans For Tonight

Without a doubt, The Carps are my favorite band in that realm of bands that are infinitely better than everyone else, yet no one has a clue who they are. Their lack of exposure is frustrating for ME, so I can only imagine what they must be dealing with themselves.

Tonight, I will finally get to see The Carps over in the City, as part of the CMJ marathon. I am, in a word...giddy.

Behold the greatness:
"Heaven's Gates & Hell's Flames"


"Veronica Belmont"


"All The Damn Kids" (Greatest thing ever?? Post-punk soca!!)
