***** Update *****
In an effort of updating posts at Single of the Day, I have found that Those Transatlantics have seem to have pulled their material from the links I currently have. I’ll leave them up as one never knows if they’ll come back.

A light is appearing at the end of the tunnel! By george I’m just about back to 100% of being me. My ear isn’t ringing but faintly. My nose is about done being stuffed. I’m not hacking like a 98 year old lifetime smoker and I’m bored of the X-Files Season 2 which I watched in it’s entirety over the past week being incapacitated with illness. What makes me most happy? My ear having come near to being completely back to normal. I suspect that in the next day or two I’ll have returned to full health and I’ll have silence in my head when there is no noise. Woo Hoo.
Horrified is the feeling I would have if I was someone permanently afflicted with Tinnitus. Obviously it’s a nightmare as musician, but musician aside – I would only wish that upon an enemy that I’d like to see driven insane. Seriously, it’s beyond the ultimate in chineese water torture. I do not look forward to a day 100 years from now of having it. I hope it never returns.
Take a deep breath, hold it. Let it out and say ahhhhhhhhhhh. Time to hop aboard a jumbo jet. Hitch a ride to the UK and say hey isn’t this where the Beatles came from? Doh, even I am scratching my head on that one. My silly way of changing the subject. Actually I was going to say I think this is probably the first band that I would compared to being a female fronted version of the Beatles. I kept thinking that over and over in my head as I was cruising through their CD.
Other comparisons I could draw would be Jellyfish without the McCartney and Wings influence. I could think of some references to some other non-signed female artists that have this vibe vocally, but this is musically better to me. When you crack a smile and think wow, I dig the environment being laid down, it’s quite cool. I’d really fall over if this band got a chance to record with say George Martin at the helm with today’s technology. It might be scary. I could get instantly hooked and be groupie. Wait no, a male band-aide.
Those Transatlantics aren’t actually from the UK. But I do enjoy their tongue-in-cheek lyrics as much as I do their spirited harmony and melody. Don’t go punching yourself or anyone else in the face. Instead get a good gift in a parking lot and move on. Actually if I ever had a relationship like that, I’d probably be inclined to move into an insane asylum.
I say don’t hesitate, get the to iTunes or better yet, click that CD art and put your paws on this gem.
