Do Not Tarry

Ut oh. I'm having a summer love affair with The Format. Go, immediately, to Amazon so that you may listen to a quick sample of their song, "Time Bomb." Here is the link, Friends. Scroll down to the Listen to Samples section and listen to "Time Bomb." Don't make me get haughty! Their new album, "Dog Problems," which you can download here, has several wonderful songs. One that is facetiously poignant is, "I'm Actual." Listen to the Amazon sample of "I'm Actual" here and/or buy the mp3 here. The lyrics for "I'm Actual" are simple, plaintive, and scathing. I love it.

That "Time Bomb" song has me shaking my rump in my car AND in my office chair. These guys are very young and very serious. They sound a bit like Queen and clearly spent a lot of time listening to and being influenced by 70s monsters like ELO.

Enjoy! I'll play them too much on my show on Thursday. I hope the other songs on the album are this much fun.

Did I already mention that you can buy their album, which includes the aforementioned awesome songs, here?



P.S. The Format hold my hand and we frolick together in a field of flowers. That is what Summer Lovers DO.
