The Wombats are a UK band I came across last year (again a big yay to music blog futuresounds for the introduction) and fell in love with their catchy, silly lyrical songs that basically sound the same but that could not stop the ridiculous amounts of repeat plays in my stereo. Originally set to do a show at Safari Sam's right after SXSW but due to illness and/or concentrating on bigger shows back home a series of show cancellations dashed my anticipation until the two shows next week. Now I'll find out if all those crazy sing alongs I've read about are true. A new proper album with reworked songs and some new bits will be out at some point in October or so they claim so keep and eye out for that. In the mean time enjoy this video for the song Kill The Director.

Band: The Wombats ( site , myspace ) Song: Moving to New York Why: This is as close to a Christmas song that I'm willing to post. They actually have a real Christmas song on their myspace that's pretty good. Thanks to futuresounds for clueing (cluing?) me in to them last week. Since it's also Reveal Your Blog Crush Day (via Ms. Sizzle Says ) I might as well list mine. I'll always have a thing for xTx and of course Caroline on Crack" as I'm envious of their great blogs. xTx for the absurd, dirty rawness of it and CoC for her perfectly written reviews of LA hot spots and eateries. As for my Top Ten of 2006 : 10) Ukuleles. They're the new theremins. 9) JB Weld. 8) Generic Nyquil from the 99cent store. 7) Yeah I think these lists are dumb.
