To: Kim Powers <kpowers11@gmail.com>Hand Held Purell Bottles:(The perfect accent to any living room, hospital, or swingers party)Hiya and welcome back to another edition of Pop! Goes the Culture - now programmed to kill lessbrain cells! I hope everyone made it through April 1st relatively unscathed, because what a month it'sgoing to be!While last year I hypothesized bees as the source of a busy April, I think it may come down tosomething a bit more logical. Let's call it the "quarter year shimmy".In January, you are still basking in that glow of the New Year. Anything is possible! You're going to thegym daily! The snow still looks pretty!Then you hit February and the only thing on your mind is how cold it is. There's too much snow and it'sdisgusting. Your heat is broken and/or your lazy and hit that snooze alarm an extra three times in themorning. The gym, although only three blocks away suddenly seems like it's in the next state.Needless to say, the thought of even being productive hasn't crossed your mind.March rolls around, and with it, the weather warms up a little.

sunlight.Which brings us to April. In April, you suddenly become aware of this extra time at your disposal. It'sstill light out at 7pm! I can do anything! And with that, it all hits you like the memory of your firsthangover. All those tasks and chores you had piled up in hibernation awake to let you know howmuch time you've wasted in the past three months. This, of course, causing an overwhelmingsensation of unaccomplishment, which then in turn causes you to be busy shimmying the whole monthgetting things done.Of course though, you could just keep your calendar on February and stay in a perpetual state of snooze-alarm pressing until June rolls around.While I calm my panicking self down, let's get started, shall we?

1) Ohbijouhttp://www.myspace.com/ohbijouHailing from Toronto, Ohbijou threw me for a loop at first, as I thought it was Eisley. Casey and Sherrisound eerily alike. However, if you're going to have a similar singing voice to someone, I think Sherri isa pretty good choice.Rustic and gentle, Ohbijou reminds me of a rabbit in the forest who is afraid of getting hurt, but wantsto see what else is around in this world. Take that as you wish.2) One for the Teamhttp://www.myspace.com/onefortheteamHell yeah, power pop! This Minneapolis trio(?) is Minnesota's version of the New Pornographers. Goneis the megagroup and instead is some solid tunes, strong harmonies, and lots of lyrics that I can't waitto finish learning so I can sing them at the top of my lungs while driving.Track Listing:1.

Bell Biv Devoe - Poison (thank you girl working in the office for the week who had this as her ringtone)3. Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears - Boogie4. Florence & The Machine - Kiss With a Fist5. God Help the Girl - Come Monday Night6. Hockey - Too Fake7. Jonathan Johansson - En Hand I Himlen (another great track from Michael's March mix)8.
