bought their cd at work tonight and i've been jammin' out to it since...
if the second half of the album is as good as the first, i give it 10 out of 10
i recommend checking them out
some of the songs sound a little similar, but that's a good thing
if you haven't heard of them, to me they sound like a modern garage band with heavy influences from the cure and the talking heads
good stuff

oh, that sucks:disapp:

is the fan or something broke?

it's new too right, a year or more old?

those bastards should replace it for you:disapp:

[Highway23]

hmmm...

are you sure that it actually gets hot...or it's a virus shutting yer comp down?

Fans aren't too hard to install, and I don't think that they are too expensive either...get yer lazy out there and get to buyin one! :)

no it actually gets hot
it's a laptop sony vaio pcg-grz630
the bottom gets very hot
i took it back before to get fixed and it's doing it again
i've got a really good warrenty for 4 years, 3 years left on it
everything's covered except the battery and the monitor
and on the 3rd time taking it back, they give me a brand new one
this will be the second time taking it back, and i should've done it a while back

the fan works, it gets louder from turning faster and faster the hotter it gets

[Highway23]

okay, take the fucker in...

and if it keeps it up....

take it in the 3rd time...and say something like:

"Okay, I've had it with this computer...this is the third time. Give me my new one."

"Sir, what is this all over the computer?"

"That's jizz my friend. Fucking jizz."


:) fuckers!

I really like the single but haven't heard anymore beyond that. I've heard that the rest of the songs do sound similar - what I'm wondering though is if the sameness in the album makes you get bored of it pretty quick or not?

[Johnny Carwash]

i'm sure not bored with it. i've got it on heavy rotation;)

[corduroykate]

f.f. is super. if you dig 'em 'van tango' is another really awesome track that was on their demo but isn't on the album--seek it out. tis good. if you're into the quirky pseudo new wavey sound, ima robot is another good band.

[Jde-PJ]

well finally heard the single a # of times now, and even seen the video for it over the weekend, and I am hooked, good, good stuff Joe:)

the rest of the album is as good as the single?

I think I might have to check it out soon.
