Dress Like Your Idols is the latest release from BOAT on the Magic Marker record label. It is also their first in a professional studio (the now-defunct Two Sticks Audio in Seattle). The awesome album art pays tribute to album covers of the 90s and beyond — D Crane-style. The band still plays the same raucous indie pop. It’s just not as “sloppy” as it used to be. Listen.
d: I’ve been listening to Katy On a Mission by Katy B a lot. Editor’s Note: if you really really want to listen to Doug’s song you should feel free to utilize the search capabilities of youtube.com.
q: What is your favorite beverage?
c: Lately I’ve been drinking kombucha, because I want to live forever.

q: What piece(s) of culture are you really really excited about right now?
d: If Community can keep getting better I will be amazed and extremely pleased.
q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?
c: We’re touring down to SXSW this March with our freshly printed 7 inch single, The Other Summer, in hand. After that, we’re going to spend the rest of the spring & summer working on a full-length record, playing a few choice festivals, and wearing shorts sometimes.

We here at GIMME TINNITUS have been detracting slightly from your concert experience all year long. We take photos at shows. We know… we know we are annoying. That said, we do out best to keep it to a minimum and usually don’t use a flash (which is why so many of these photos need a little “shopping”). Join us in reliving some of our favorite moments from some of the concerts we have seen during the past year. Look + Listen:
