IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.


album cover DUOTANG The Bright Side (Mint) cd 14.98
Like a wonderful melding of Spoon (Girls Can Tell) and The Jam (but not Jam & Spoon!), this is the third full-length from this super-sharp Canadian pop duo (their first two were "Smash the Ships and Raise the Beams" and "The Cons and the Pros") with a penchant for fine wine and the '60s Brit sounds of The Who, The Kinks, the aforementioned Jam and oh, The Beatles too. Looking fab as always in their custom-made suits, these gents make a surprisingly big pop sound between (primarily) just the two of them. Sean supplies the bouncing drum beat, and Rod provides the wonderfully full bass guitar lead melodies (that's right there are no six-strings here) and the frequently Paul-Weller-deadringer vocals. Prior to the release of "The Bright Side", they both took some time off from the band, Sean to school and Rod to the lush Winnipeg pop group Novillero. The break seems to have done them a world of good, as this is their most confident and polished work to date. Much more edgy and driving than their previous poppier efforts. The addition of horns, keyboards, and a few female backing vocals help flesh out the Duotang landscape. Check out the lovely "Toast To The Life-long Friends". On Mint Records (home to the New Pornographers, I Am Spoonbender, Neko Case, and the Evaporators). Very recommended.
