That's really true, Lock was cooler than cool. But never cold!

Right now . . . .

Saw these guys, Hippo Campus,  on TV over a year ago and ordered their first release, an EP, "Bashful Creatures". . . it was cheap. I realize I hadn't listened to it since I got it!

I was impressed with their "clean" Fender guitar sounds and playing. They remind me oddly enough of early Pretenders if the Pretenders were bashful nice people instead of the punky brewsters they were. Anyway, a nice listen, something different.

Now for something TOTALLY different:
