    Press Reviews:

    "... Don't even bother. BORING" - Seattle Weekly

    "What? Are they punk, minimalists, electronic or shoegazers? SOMEONE TELL ME!!??" - The Rocket

    "As I listen to this droning noise plod on I can't help but feel the rhythm section is a train moments from derailment. Yet it does not even give me that satisfcation." - SORE ZINE

    "Anything we get from them just gets redirected to file 13." - Three Imaginary Girls

    "Pick up your shit by tomorrow or its going in the trash." - Sonic Boom

    "We liked the tape loop recordings but after a while we start drooling." - The Stranger

    "DIY - Record Labels Are Useless? Get on a fucking label like everyone else!" - The Tentacle

    "Fuck those guys." - Seattle P.I.

    "'Little Hopes' is a mostly-electronic track that I can't really figure out. It sounds like someone hoped onto a Mac and went about creating an uninspiring, moody tune. I'm not a big fan of this kind of stuff and had expected this to be more punk rock, given the band's previous material I've heard." - IMPACT Press

    "Another self release? Who cares!" - Seattle Times

    "We have listened to all the submissions, and did not find your music strong enough to offer you a performance this time around." - Virgin College Mega Tour

    "Sorry, you're not selected for our festival." - Beeckestijn Pop

    "Sorry to say on this occasion you have been unsuccessful." - goNORTH

    "Our creative directors listened carefully to your music. Although you were not selected, your submission fee is being used to pay for production costs of the Seattle Peace Concert. Thanks for your support!" - Peace Code Records

    Awards:

    THE MOST BORING SEATTLE BAND 2002

    [molle] "Hey, what dialect does Akiko Yano sing in?"
    [kumata] "Yano-Ku desu"
    [molle] "nandate ... Ah souka!"

    [kumata] "Glasses cannot go to the puzzle."
    [molle] "Can Molle go to the puzzle?"
    [kumata] "Hai."

    [molle] "How does Iijima Mari perpetuate youth?"
    [kumata] "You didn't know? She competed with Ponce de Leon"
    [molle] "Hontou desu ka!?"
    [kumata] "Hai sou desu! And she was successful!

    [molle] "Hej Kuma-san! Do you like The HIVES?"
    [kumata] "Oh, that famous bob hund wannabe band?"
    [molle] "Hai! Ja, Det är det."
    [kumata] "Hell no, they smell like ripe surströmming."
    [molle] "Jaså! I think so too, how can we make them go away now?"
    [kumata] "hmmmm.... lets see..."
    [kumata] "Book them under the straw ram in uppsalla for god jul."
    [molle] "Fire! Perfect! Get the ram cam URL!"

    Ha ha...thanks for the suggestion. I'm really glad you are diggin' the podcasts. We are going to try out a few different things to keep listeners interested. We would need to figure out a "simple" way to have callers call in to the "show", but I'm all up for it. Take care of yourself!

    I was all smiles when you guys "picked up a cord and plugged it in" (i morphed the quote to be in past tense, sorry Thursty Mole).

    the highlight for me was "misfigured balloons" and "fish sticker" fer sure.

    we love you guys!
