STICK UP FOR YOURSELF SON

The new song from Yeasayer comes complete with a slightly strange new video (above) and an even stranger interactive website. The latter can be seen at amblingamp.com, worth checking out both for the aforementioned strangeness and for a free Ambling Amp mp3. Also, if you're in the UK keep an eye out for Yeasayer dates in and about your place of residence early 2010.

I COULD MAKE A BRAND NEW START IN LOVE WITH YOU

I have heard lots about how great Girls are. It's taken me a while, but this song seems to have wedged itself in my frontal lobe for good. Does anyone else hear Elvis Costello when he sings though?
