what does FABU mean?  is that like FUBU?

On first listen track 2 is FABU lous.

[Bags]

Are you in the middle of listening now?  I'm in track 3.  Track 2 is no "Murder Me Rachel," but so far, so good.  Hope they tour...

[Bags]

Track 9, "All the Whine" -- favorite so far.

I think it's WINE. It's a repeat from last year's EP. A GREAT song - and a funny typo.
 
 I'm SO excited about this release - enough to bring me out of hiding.
 
 O' to live in Brooklyn:
 
 04/12: "ALLIGATOR" Record Release Party // Tuesday - April 12th
 at Supreme Trading 213 North 8th St. Brooklyn, NY
 Doors at 8pm - We'll play a short set beginning at 9pm sharp.
 
 I'm showing great restraint by NOT listening to the stream so that I can give it a proper listening party. Maybe with a bottle of whine.

I got to track 4 then went to lunch, back to track 4.
 
 I like what I have heard so far, it is slower and more wimpy than the last album.

You're right -- that's funny, though, I did read it as whine with an H and thought "isn't that clever...."
