Insert joke hereDespite the painful double entendre behind the band name, Morningwood writes some premium chick anthem material. The group has a new album out, Diamonds & Studs, which is being released through a unique partnership with VH1, which really hasn’t been done before.

But inside, this is no joke. Surprisingly quality lounge jazz backed by talented flute jams gave me a double-take. Some of these tracks, particularly “That Major Song,” could easily be background tunes at an art gallery opening. However, the drawbacks of this album are 1) anytime Wada . . . → Read More: Miho Wada, just your average Japanese punk jazz flautist husband&wifeare sharing this home recording of the fellas doing a rendition of Chemic’s “Don’t Stop,” replete with homemade kazoos. husband&wife : “Don’t Stop” (mp3) The B side is a Matt Coleman remix of husband&wife’s “I Got Fat.” husband&wife : “I Got Fat (remix)” (mp3) and just for . . . → Read More: husband&wife are pretty great (and really two dudes) Mark Mallman and Solid Gold will co-headline Benefit for Haiti on Saturday,City Pages, Gimme Noise, and First Avenue will present GIMME SHELTER: A Benefit for Haiti on Saturday, February 6 in the Main Room.
