the world is spinning and no one can stop it.
I gave PAS/CAL a no one is awake style introduction early on in my blogging in March. I've got to admit that it can be downright difficult to be so much in love with a band before they even release a full length album (See also: The World vs. Voxtrot, myself included). Well, all that is changing. PAS/CAL will finally release Citizens Army Uniform in January of 2007. If you're keeping score at home, that's Of Montreal, The Shins, Menomena, Youth Group, and (though my personal interest is fading) Clap Your Hands Say Yeah all slated with January releases. 2007 may, by definition, destroy.
PAS/CAL is making up for lost time with their third EP, Dear Sir, becoming available in less than a month. The EP will house six songs, though history shows that being that the bliss output will be inevitably high, diminishing the relevence of length. One can only assume that Citizens Army Uniform will deafen you with it's pop perfection. The first two EPs were surprisingly wise investments at $10 a pop. You can order them through PAS/CAL's record label, Le Grand Magistery or through their website. There you can also find vinyl with more PAS/CAL songs, including their rendition of Wham's "Last Christmas," a holiday favorite of mine.
PAS/CAL's "C. A. U. (Sans Muscle)"

T MINUS 75
Low's "Blue Christmas"
Anyone who has ever had the need to listen to "Blue Christmas" has nothing to relate to in versions by Elvis Presley, Porky Pig, or even the seemingly (always) crying Bright Eyes. Low have captured the true desperate bleak feeling of this horrendously depressing holiday hymn.

I bought the Clap Your Hands blah blah blah album, and owned it for about 2 weeks. I was intrigued by the opening circusy barker, but then getting into the album, i realized that I didn't like U2 anymore, and therefore didn't much care for this album.
You can also download an MP3 of Pas/Cal's version of Wham! "Last Christmas" and another Pas/Cal holiday song on the iTunes exclusive "A Very Magistery Christmas" compilation.
