Best start off your introduction to Aqueduct with the thrift store gangsta stance of “Hardcore Days, Softcore Nights,” just so you know not to mess with frontman Dave Terry. Sure, it’s wry bedroom pop on the surface, but I think he’s only half-joking about “pulling heat” if you ask him where he’s from (Tulsa, by the way, which might explain the defensiveness). But the fun only begins there… Song to song, Terry recalls any of the nerd-music-for-the-masses elite — from Ben Folds (without the Elton John fixation) to Ben Gibbard (after a few sleepless nights) — though he’s well on his way to earning his own seat at the table. At least that’s what I’d say to his face, lest I get on his bad side.
Sharing the sharing.
FYI: at this moment, the first two songs don’t work.
i got all but “hardcore nights…” working. looks like barsuk may be blocking outside IPs from linking directly to MP3s (i say only half understanding what i’m saying). however, if you cut and paste http://music.barsuk.com/Aqueduct_HardcoreDaysSoftcoreNights.mp3 into a new browser window it appears to work.
Their stuff is good. The vocals get a little annoying and overly-dramatic sounding at some points. (Heart Design) But, the melodies are addictive. Good stuff.
Stupid OC got this band, too!
