"Life
in a Blender captured a city-wide wave of post-gentrification angst in
its song 'What Happened to Smith,' rendering hummable the self-conscious
anxieties of many of their listeners." —Ariella Cohen, The
Brooklyn Paper

Join us on our search for pure consciousness.
Join us in our infinite magnitude.
Pleasure is the highest good, while pain is undesirable.
LIAB will be hawking its new album, The Heart Is A Small Balloon. The
album looks beautiful with Mark's design and sounds great with Al's terrific
producing. And there are nice new T-shirts too.
By the way, an oversight on the album: Mr. Cutlets (aka Josh Ozersky)
should have been thanked for the title "She Handed Me the Mitten." You
should visit Mr.
Cutlets online though and hear his anthem written by Don Ralph and
recorded with some fine Seattle musicians.
